Church of San Francesco of Scarpa, Catholic church in historic center of Lecce, Italy.
The Church of San Francesco della Scarpa features a Greek cross layout and contains four preserved altars dedicated to different religious figures.
Originally built in the 12th century on the Guarini family land, the church underwent extensive renovations between 1699 and 1714.
The church name originates from the 16th-century division between Conventual Franciscans who wore shoes and Observant Franciscans who did not.
Located at Piazzetta Carducci 1 in Lecce, the building now functions as an exhibition space and auditorium for public events.
The structure earned the nickname 'church without a facade' due to its integration into the colonnade of the former Palmieri boarding school.
