San Francesco, Arezzo, Minor basilica in central Arezzo, Italy.
The Basilica of San Francesco features a single-nave Gothic structure with various chapels showcasing frescoes from the 14th to 16th centuries.
Franciscan friars settled in Arezzo between 1211 and 1217, receiving land within city walls in 1290 to construct their church and convent.
The Bacci Chapel contains the comprehensive fresco cycle Legend of the True Cross by Piero della Francesca, displaying Renaissance mastery of perspective.
Visitors can explore the basilica Monday through Saturday from 9:00 to 19:00 and Sundays from 13:00 to 18:00, with wheelchair access throughout.
