Chiesa di San Francesco, Romanesque church in San Marino.
The Chiesa di San Francesco exhibits strong stone walls, rounded arches, and a rose window characteristic of medieval religious architecture in San Marino.
Construction of the church began in 1351 and finished in 1400, using materials from an earlier convent that was relocated due to Malatesta raids.
The church houses a collection of religious artworks, including pieces by Guercino and Raphael, displayed in the adjacent museum section.
Visitors can reach the church through multiple transportation options, including a cable car from Borgo Maggiore or by walking up the Costa path.
The church contains the tomb of Bishop Marino Madroni, a fifteenth-century Franciscan figure, within its cloister area.
