San Francesco d'Assisi, Turin, Baroque church in central Turin, Italy

The San Francesco d'Assisi church displays marble altars, ornate decorations, and a large oval window above the entrance portal with pinnacles on the roofline.

The original 13th-century structure underwent major reconstruction in 1608, leading to the current building designed by Bernardo Antonio Vittore and Mario Ludovico Quarini in 1761.

The central chapel contains a significant altarpiece depicting the Madonna with Child and Saints Anna, Francesco, and Caterina, attributed to artist Federico Zuccari.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors and worshippers, with access through the main entrance on Via San Francesco d'Assisi in Turin's center.

The chapel of Sant'Anna features late-Baroque stucco embellishments from 1637, while the ceiling frescoes received restoration work by Rodolfo Morgari in the 19th century.
