San Francesco, Narni

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 founded shortly after Saint Francis's death in the 13th century, when this location had gained spiritual significance. The building reflects the religious importance the site held at that time.

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.

Beneath the main altar rest the relics of Blessed Matteo Prosperi, a local figure from the 16th century honored in this sanctuary. The church holds the remains of a locally significant person beyond just its connection to Saint Francis.
