The church of San Francesco was built between the end of the 13th century and 1338 to commemorate Francis’ visit to Piediluco, as explained in the inscription on the facade. The church contains important artworks from the 1400s and 1500s and, on the portal, a relief pattern of fish and fishing gear recalls the proximity to the lake.
A number of relics of Saint Francis were granted to this church by Assisi’s Sacro Convento in 1999 to memorialize the saint’s visit here.
