Italy, Urbino, The Church and the Tower of the Convent of St.Francis

The Convent of San Francesco is the convent of the Friars Minor Conventual and one of the main religious buildings in the city of Urbino, in the Marche region.
The church can be considered Urbino's Pantheon, due to the numerous marble slabs of many illustrious figures from Urbino.
The presence of the Franciscan fathers in Urbino is very ancient, dating back to the period in which Saint Francis of Assisi was still alive (1182 - 1226). The church was completed in 1350 with the completion of the cusped bell tower. In the 13th century a wonderful cloister was also built in which the Counts of Urbino and other important figures of the city were buried.
