Chiesa dell'Osservanza, Gothic church in Cesena, Italy
The Chiesa dell'Osservanza features a brick facade with a circular window and three-arch portico at Viale Osservanza 198 in Cesena.
Malatesta Novello ordered the construction of the church in 1438 after his victory over Ghibelline forces, with completion and consecration in 1471.
Cardinal Bessarion contributed his collection of choral books to the church in 1465, which later became part of the Biblioteca Malatestiana collection.
The church contains the Madonna della Grazie painting and The Annunciation by Marcantonio Franceschini, displayed in the main hall for visitors.
During World War II, the church catacombs served as a shelter for 200 civilians escaping aerial bombardments in October 1944.
