This explains the presence of an open chapel in the sober main façade, with a Renaissance doorway. The temple is surprising for its size, with a high nave with Gothic ribs. The altarpiece of San Francisco has its own history, since it was stolen and was eventually returned to this temple. It is possible to visit the atrium, where remains of the mural paintings that decorated it are still preserved.
