Step into St. Francis Basilica, where Gothic walls meet an unexpectedly vivid Art Nouveau interior. Spend half an hour studying the stained glass, painted murals and the copy of the Turin Shroud.
Full description
Dating back to the 13th century and one of the city's early brick buildings, the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi pairs Gothic architecture with a richly painted Art Nouveau interior.
Visitors single out its stained glass, which departs from the usual rose-window style, along with the murals covering the walls and a copy of the Turin Shroud. It sits in the Old Town close to the main sights, entry is free, and a visit takes around half an hour.
Reviewers describe it as one of the most memorable churches in the city.
