Piacenza: San Francesco Basilica in 360°

Step inside one of Piacenza’s most striking monuments: the Basilica of San Francesco. Built between 1278 and 1363 by the Franciscan friars, this majestic church stands as a prime example of Lombard Gothic architecture. Look around to take in the sheer scale of its high brick nave, pointed arches, and the historic atmosphere where Piacenza’s annexation to the Kingdom of Italy was proclaimed in 1848. An immersive journey through centuries of Italian faith, history, and art.
