San Francesco, Sansepolcro, Gothic parish church in Sansepolcro, Italy.
The San Francesco church rises in the center of Sansepolcro with its bell tower dating from the 13th century and pointed arches characterizing its facade.
Construction of the San Francesco church started in 1258 under Franciscan friar Tommaso da Spello and underwent modifications during the 18th century with stucco additions.
The church contained the monumental Borgo San Sepolcro Altarpiece from 1437, measuring 6 by 5 meters with 60 panels painted by Sassetta for 510 florins.
The church functions as an active Roman Catholic parish within the Diocese of Arezzo-Cortona-Sansepolcro, following traditional Roman Rite liturgical practices.
The original altar from 1304 remains in place, while the church once displayed works by Giovanni de' Vecchi, Domenico Passignano, and Giovanni Battista Mercati.
