Basilica of San Francesco

This basilica was built between the years 1228 and 1255. It was later enlarged in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and the original Romanesque building thus became Gothic. It has a large nave with significant wood paneling. Its interior survived the great fire that happened in the seventeenth century. It houses important paintings, stained glass and artwork. The complex includes university branches, including an economic department that's fortunate to have access to one of the cloisters, which also leads to their library.
