Chiesa Nuova, Baroque church in Assisi, Italy.

Chiesa Nuova is a Baroque church in Assisi with a Greek-cross plan and a central dome on a drum with a lantern, its interior covered by painted decoration begun around 1623. The pale pink brick facade has stone pilasters, a rectangular window flanked by two oval medallions, and a triangular pediment; a stone panel above the portal begins "FRACTA DEI TEMPLI FRANCISCI VT AEDEM".

The building was constructed starting in 1615 with funds from Spanish King Philip III on the site of Francis of Assisi's family home.

The name Chiesa Nuova, "new church", dates from 1615, when it was the last church built in Assisi. The interior is almost entirely painted: the central bay has pilasters in painted false marble and four pendentives with the Evangelists, while the transepts carry monochrome 17th-century scenes of the life of Saint Francis. Cesare Sermei frescoed the Chapel of the Crucifix with episodes of Saint Clare and the Chapel of Saint Bernardino with scenes of the saint.

The church is accessible during daytime hours split across the morning and afternoon. Opening hours are extended in warmer months but reduced slightly in winter.

Beside the church, in the former friary, visitors can still see rooms of Francis's family home: his bedroom, his father's shop storeroom, and the under-stair space called the "carcere", where his father locked him after he renounced his goods.
