San Francesco alle Scale, Gothic church in Ancona, Italy.
The San Francesco alle Scale church features a grand stone staircase with two flights of 30 steps leading to its Gothic portal entrance.
Bishop Nicola degli Ungari laid the first stone of this religious building on August 15th, 1323, initially naming it Santa Maria Maggiore.
The interior contains notable Renaissance artworks, including the Assumption by Lorenzo Lotto and the Baptism of Christ by Pellegrino Tibaldi.
The church opens daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM during winter months, with Sunday mass celebrated at 11:45 AM except in July and August.
During the early 20th century until 1953, the building served as the Museum, Library, and Civic Art Gallery of Ancona.
