San Francesco, Neoclassical church in Oristano, Italy
The church displays a central layout with two side chapels, a deep semicircular apse, and a hemispherical dome atop a cylindrical base.
Following the collapse of an earlier construction in 1838, architect Gaetano Cima designed the current structure, which opened for worship in 1847.
The sacristy contains the marble statue of Saint Basil by Nino Pisano from 1368 and a panel depicting Saint Francis receiving stigmata.
The church stands near the cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta in the historic center, with access via a wide staircase leading to three entrance portals.
The monastery's refectory witnessed the signing of the 1388 Peace Treaty between Eleonora and the Catalan-Aragonese king John I of Aragon.
