San Francesco della Scarpa, Baroque Catholic church in Sulmona, Italy.
The church features a single nave with barrel vaults, side chapels, and a square presbytery topped by a dome without drum or lantern.
Founded in 1290 by King Charles II of Naples, the church underwent major reconstruction after earthquakes in 1456 and 1706 reduced its size.
The 14th-century portal displays a fresco depicting the Madonna with Child between Saint Francis and Mary Magdalene in its lunette.
The church opens daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM at Via Panfilo Mazara 22, while the Rotonda courtyard opens only for special events.
The remaining buttress from 1456 displays three bells and a statue of Saint Francis at its summit, marking structural reinforcement after an earthquake.
