San Francesco Antonio Fasani, Minor basilica and diocesan shrine in Lucera, Italy.
The religious complex features a Gothic facade with a portal crowned by an Angioin coat of arms and a rose window in the historic center.
The construction of the basilica began in 1300 and concluded in 1304, following Charles II of Anjou's restoration of Christian faith after the Saracen period.
The church interior contains a single high nave with wooden truss ceilings and 18th-century frescoes depicting Saint Francis of Assisi's life scenes.
