San Francesco Convent (Fiesole)

The Convent of Saint Francis (Italian: Convento di San Francesco) is a Franciscan convent located in the western, historic center of Fiesole in the region of Tuscany, Italy.

Located on Via San Francesco, it is adjacent to the former Basilica of Sant'Alessandro and near the Cathedral of Saint Romulus.

At the end of the fifteenth century, the underground chapel was enlarged with an above-ground apse and choir.

The interior of the church is in a simple Gothic style with a single nave covered by an arched barrel vault ceiling.

The largest cloister comprises a four-sided portico covered by a cross vault ceiling.
