San Francesco, Gubbio

San Francesco is a Gothic-style, Roman Catholic church in the lower town of Gubbio, Umbria, in Italy.

This church is different than the smaller chapel or oratory of San Francesco della Pace in Gubbio, built by the Guild of Masons and Stonecutters.

In the interior, Ottaviano Nelli painted a series of frescoes, mainly depicting the Story of the Virgin Mary (circa 1410–1415).

It contains a St Francis before a cross (1540) by Benedetto Nucci, and the sacristy has a Virgin and child with serpent by Benedict's son, Virgilio.

Under the altar of San Carlo Borromeo are the remains of a blessed nun of a Franciscan order, Franceschina, who died on 6 July 1255, returning from Assisi.
