Chiesa di San Francesco, Gothic church building in central Orvieto, Italy
The Chiesa di San Francesco features wide arches, a single nave, a quadrangular apse, and a wooden trussed roof spanning 22.2 meters in width.
The Franciscans constructed this church in 1234, replacing a Benedictine monastery, and Pope Clement IV consecrated it as San Francesco in 1266.
The church houses three 16th-century altarpieces by Cesare Nebbia, depicting the Immaculate Conception, Madonna and Child, and Christ in Judgment.
The church stands on Via Ippolito Scalza in the southern part of Orvieto's historic center, near the Duomo and artisan streets.
Restoration work in 1999 revealed hidden frescoes by Pietro di Puccio showing scenes from Saint Matthew's life in the presbytery chapel.
