Church of San Francesco, Gothic church in Cortona, Italy.
The Church of San Francesco exhibits a large nave ending in an apse with a groin vault, accompanied by two smaller side chapels with similar vaulting.
Built in 1245, this church stands as the second Franciscan church ever constructed, following the establishment of the basilica in Assisi.
The interior contains notable artworks, including the Nativity by Raffaello Vanni and the Annunciation by Pietro da Cortona, reflecting Italian religious art traditions.
Located on Via Berrettini, the church opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, offering free admission to visitors throughout the year.
The church preserves three significant relics of Saint Francis: his tunic, New Testament manuscript, and a cushion he used during his final days.
