San Francesco, Rieti, Gothic church building in medieval Rieti, Italy
The church features Romano-Gothic and Baroque architectural elements, with a central nave adorned by frescoes depicting scenes from religious history.
Construction of San Francesco began in 1245 following a papal bull from Pope Innocent IV, marking the early expansion of Franciscan communities.
The apse contains six distinct fresco scenes, including the Dream of Pope Innocent III and the Miracle of the Presepe of Greccio.
Following its restoration in 1898, the church returned to religious service under the Order of the Pia Unione with limited ceremonial functions.
The chapel of the Holy Cross within the church received a new dedication in 1463 after Bernardino of Siena performed a healing miracle.
