San Francesco Antonio Fasani, Minor basilica and diocesan shrine in Lucera, Italy.

San Francesco Antonio Fasani is a Gothic church on Piazza Tribunali in Lucera, with a gable facade, a portal topped by the Angevin coat of arms, and a sixteen-ray rose window rebuilt in 1943. Inside, a single tall nave has a wooden truss ceiling, five 18th-century sandstone altars, and a pulpit made from the 1555 sarcophagus of the knight Santa. The pentagonal apse is separated by an 18-metre arch of travertine and holds a bronze urn with the saint's body under a 1942 altar.

Carlo II d'Angiò ended the Saracen colony in Lucera in 1300 and re-established Christian worship, entrusting the new church to the Friars Minor. Work began in 1304 and was finished around 1330. The earthquake of 20 March 1731 damaged the building; Fra Francesco Antonio Fasani had it restored and reconsecrated on 26 April 1739. He died on 29 November 1742 and was buried inside the church.

Locals call the saint "Padre Maestro", and his cell in the adjoining friary, where he lived 35 years and died, was returned to the friars on 16 November 2010 after 144 years with the prison administration. A display case holds his worn clothes and his penitential staff; the friary also keeps a wooden statue of him from 1951.

The sanctuary is open to visitors and maintains regular services, though you can explore its architectural details and interior elements at your own pace. Plan your visit outside of service times to fully appreciate the space and its frescoes.

The cell where Francesco Antonio Fasani lived for 35 years and died in 1742 was returned to the friars on 16 November 2010, after the prison administration had held it for 144 years; it can now be visited inside the adjoining convent.
