Chiesa Nuova, Baroque church in Assisi, Italy.

The church follows a Greek cross floor plan with a central dome and four smaller domes extending from each arm of the structure.

Built in 1615 with funds from King Philip III of Spain, the church stands on the location of Saint Francis of Assisi's family home.

The interior walls display frescoes by Cesare Sermei and Giacomo Giorgetti depicting scenes from the lives of Saint Francis and Saint Clare.

Visitors can access the church daily from 06:30 to 12:00 and 14:30 to 18:00, with winter hours closing one hour earlier.

The first stone pillar contains a sealed room with a grating where Francis's father imprisoned him for giving away the family's wealth.
