Monumental Complex of San Francesco

The Monumental Complex of San Francesco is a former convent building that now houses a civic museum with artistic and archaeological collections. The exhibition presents various periods of local history through religious artwork, sculptures, and artifacts.

The building began as a Franciscan convent and served for centuries as a place of faith and community. Extensive renovations in the 1980s transformed it into a public cultural institution.

The complex reflects the region's religious and artistic identity through its displayed works and sacred objects. The spaces tell of the connection between faith and artistic creation that shaped local life.

The collections are spread across multiple rooms that allow for self-guided exploration, with the exhibition clearly marked. It is advisable to check opening times before visiting, as the museum is closed on certain days.

The complex also houses archaeological finds from the surrounding area, showing how the region was inhabited long before the convent was built. These layers of different time periods make a visit a journey through several centuries of local development.
