San Francesco, Medieval church in historic centre of Grosseto, Italy
The San Francesco church combines brick construction with Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, featuring a prominent rose window above the main portal.
Originally dedicated to San Fortunato under Benedictine guidance, the church underwent reconstruction in 1231 before its consecration in 1289 under Franciscan leadership.
The interior contains a painted crucifix from 1289 attributed to Duccio di Boninsegna, while the cloister preserves 13th-century frescoes for visitors to examine.
The church maintains regular operation as a parish within the Diocese of Grosseto, providing religious services and welcoming visitors throughout the year.
The Saint Anthony of Padua chapel displays Baroque frescoes created between 1651 and 1680 by Francesco Nasini and his brother Antonio.
