San Francesco Church, Gothic church in Vigevano, Italy.
San Francesco Church is a Gothic-style building in Vigevano featuring pointed arches and fine stone details. The tall bell tower stands as a defining feature of the structure.
The church was built in 1379 outside the city walls and underwent major structural changes between 1465 and 1470. This renovation altered the building significantly.
The interior contains religious artworks and frescoes that reflect the artistic evolution of the local area. You can observe how painting styles and decoration changed across different periods.
The church opens regularly for visitors and can be entered through the main portal on Via San Francesco. It is wise to check opening times beforehand, as religious services may affect access.
Next to the right side portal of the church stands a small Baroque structure called Chiesetta dei Morti. This auxiliary building once served as a burial chamber and completes the architectural ensemble.
