San Francesco, Gothic church and religious museum in Schio, Italy.
San Francesco is a Gothic church in Schio featuring a central nave with six pointed arches and interior frescoes. The building displays characteristic architectural details of its style and houses both religious spaces and cultural functions today.
Construction began in 1424 and the church was consecrated in 1442, marking its establishment as an important religious center. After centuries of use as a monastery and later as a hospital, it underwent significant transformations before continuing into modern times.
The church displays artworks that reflect religious life across centuries and bring together different artistic periods. Visitors can see these works in the interior spaces, which remain active for worship today.
The church is centrally located in Schio and easily accessible on foot. Visitors should know that religious activities still take place, so it is good to be quiet and behave respectfully.
The facade shows an asymmetrical design with a single side nave that sets it apart from other churches. This unusual layout came from practical reasons during the original planning and construction.
