San Francesco, Terni, Gothic and Renaissance church building in Terni, Italy
The San Francesco church features a single-nave structure with a transept, complemented by a bell tower decorated with green and blue majolica tiles.
Construction began in 1265 on the site of an ancient chapel dedicated to San Cassiano, which Bishop Rainerio donated to Saint Francis in 1218.
The Paradisi chapel contains frescoes by Bartolomeo di Tommaso depicting The Last Judgment, with detailed representations of Paradise and Hell from 1450.
The church stands in the central square of San Francesco, serving as a primary stop on the Via di Francesco pilgrimage route through Umbria.
The bell tower, constructed by Antonio da Orvieto and completed in 1445, displays an innovative combination of architectural design with colorful majolica decorations.
