San Francesco d'Assisi, Medieval church in Trapani, Italy
The San Francesco d'Assisi church features a Latin cross layout with a single nave, three recessed chapels on each wall, and a double-light portico entrance.
Construction of the church began in 1272 when Franciscan friar Angelo da Rieti established the religious complex, which opened for worship in March 1275.
Eleven stucco statues by sculptor Cristoforo Milanti represent moral virtues including Strength, Zeal, Charity, Wisdom, and Doctrine throughout the church interior.
The church remains active for religious services and holds special processions on October 4 for Saint Francis of Assisi and December 8 for Immaculate Conception.
The major altar displays decorative stucco figures depicting six popes from the Franciscan Order alongside paintings of the Immaculate Conception.
