Saint Francis Church

The church of San Francesco is located in Castelfiorentino, built in 1278, is one of the few churches in Romanesque-Gothic style that are part of the Valdelsa and in part of Tuscany; the Gothic language can be observed from the structure of the church, composed of a large nave with two smaller chapels placed in a symmetrical way, with cross vaults. The Romanesque style is instead found in the composition of the structure, that is the use of brick, the cruciform windows, the portal that is more external than the facade, or the decorated arches.
