San Francesco, Gothic Roman Catholic church in Lucignano, Italy

The church presents a bicolored exterior made of travertine marble and pietra serena stone, featuring a central rose window on its facade.

The Franciscan friars first established their presence at this location in 1289, marking the beginning of the church's religious significance in Lucignano.

The interior walls display numerous frescoes from the 15th and 16th centuries, including scenes from the life of Saint Francis by Bartolo di Fredi.

The church remains an active place of worship within the Diocese of Arezzo-Cortona-Sansepolcro, following Roman Catholic liturgical traditions.

A notable fresco called 'Triumph of Death' depicts death as a horseman on a black horse confronting two noblemen near the main altar.
