Historic, 13th-century basilica belonging to the Franciscans. Despite having a Romanesque facade, this is one of the best examples of French Gothic architecture in Italy. Inside the church stands out a magnificent marble altar carved in the years 1388-1393 by two Venetians, Jacobello and Pier Paolo dalle Masegne.
