San Francesco Church, Roman Catholic church in Monterosso al Mare, Italy.
The San Francesco Church stands on the hill of San Cristoforo, featuring traditional religious architecture with notable interior decorations and paintings.
Construction of the church and adjacent convent commenced in 1619, reaching completion in 1622 before its consecration by Bishop Giovanni Battista Salvago in 1623.
The church exhibits several artworks including the Martyrdom of the Capuchin Saints and a Crucifixion painting attributed to Antoon van Dyck or a Ligurian artist.
The religious building remains accessible through Salita San Cristoforo, offering regular services under the administration of the Roman Catholic Diocese of La Spezia-Sarzana-Brugnato.
Recent restoration work in 2023 uncovered two 18th-century reliquaries containing remains of Roman martyrs hidden behind 17th-century paintings.
