Church of Saint Francis, Romanesque church in Pescia, Italy.

The Church of Saint Francis features a single nave interior with multiple altarpieces and a Gothic architectural influence in its stone construction.

Construction of the religious building started in 1295 when prominent families contributed by adding their private chapels throughout several decades.

The church houses a significant 1235 painting by Bonaventura Berlinghieri depicting Saint Francis of Assisi and his recorded miracles.

The religious structure stands in Piazza San Francesco, offering visitors access to various chapels containing 15th-century artworks and family tombs.

A wooden sculptural group from the 15th century in the Misericordia chapel connects to reported supernatural events from 1506.
