San Francesco, Narni, Romanesque church in Narni, Italy

San Francesco is a church with Romanesque architecture in Narni, displaying a broad sculpted portal arch on its square facade. Inside, cylindrical columns divide the space into three naves.

The church was built after Saint Francis's death in 1226 on the spot where he had stayed in 1213, invited by Bishop Ugolino; locals funded it in gratitude. Construction lasted into the 14th century, and some sources cite completion of church and convent by 1260. After suppression under French rule it served as a warehouse and stables, and was restored and reconsecrated in 1885 under the Eroli family and the Confraternity of the Misericordia.

The Eroli Chapel displays wall paintings from the 15th century showing scenes from Saint Francis's life, reflecting how this saint was honored in the local community.

The church is accessible to visitors throughout the year and offers views of medieval architecture and religious artworks. It is best to check opening times in advance, as these may vary by season.

The wooden statue of Saint Bernardino of Siena that once stood in the Eroli Chapel, carved by Vecchietta around 1460–1464, was sold by the Confraternity of San Bernardino to the Bargello Museum in Florence, where it is now displayed.
