San Francesco, Gothic-Catalan church building in Iglesias, Italy
The San Francesco church displays a single-aisle design with pointed diaphragm arches supported by pillars and features an exposed wooden roof structure.
The Franciscans established their presence in Iglesias around 1230, and James II of Aragon authorized the church reconstruction by Catalan Franciscans after 1324.
The interior contains the notable Retablo di San Francesco, a polyptych from 1560 painted in tempera, representing religious artistry of the period.
The church stands in Piazza San Francesco in the medieval center of Iglesias, South Sardinia, making it central for visitors exploring religious architecture.
Seven raised chapels along the interior walls contain cross vaults with detailed pendulous gems and jamb capitals of different architectural designs.
