San Francesco Church, Gothic church in Lodi, Italy
San Francesco Church displays Italian Gothic architectural elements with pointed arches, ribbed vaulting, and detailed facades constructed from local brick and marble materials.
The construction of San Francesco Church began in 1280, during a period when Franciscan monks introduced Gothic architectural principles throughout the Italian peninsula.
The interior spaces demonstrate the Franciscan approach to religious architecture, with open areas designed to accommodate large congregations during religious ceremonies.
The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors, with guided tours offering detailed information about the architectural features and historical significance.
The structure incorporates wooden tie beams instead of flying buttresses to support the upper walls, reflecting a regional adaptation of Gothic construction techniques.
