San Francesco, Gothic church and religious museum in Schio, Italy.

The San Francesco church features a central nave with timber truss roof and six pointed arches, decorated with frescoes attributed to Francesco Verla.

Construction began in 1424 under friar Vincenzo da Cori, with consecration in 1442 by Alberto Nichisola, suffragan bishop of Verona.

The church holds numerous religious artworks, including a wooden crucifix from the 1400s and paintings by Alessandro Maganza and Francesco Maffei.

After serving as a monastery until 1806 and hospital until 1959, the complex now houses both religious services and the Schio Musical Academy.

The front facade displays an asymmetrical design due to its single side nave, with a portico supported by four columns and arches.
