San Francesco, Romanesque convent in Urbino, Italy.
The San Francesco convent presents thick stone walls, rounded arches, and a single-nave structure following traditional Romanesque architectural principles.
The religious complex originated in 1278, serving as a center for Franciscan activities until 1810 when Napoleonic decrees forced the friars to leave.
The convent contains medieval frescoes depicting religious scenes and houses numerous artworks from different periods of Italian religious art.
The convent stands in the western section of Urbino's historic center, with guided tours available during regular visiting hours throughout the year.
The chapter house preserves a 14th-century fresco depicting the Crucifixion with mourners and four saints, accessible upon special request.
