L'église dédiée à Saint François d'Assise est la plus belle église gothique de Palerme. Malgré ses restructurations aux XVIe et XIXe siècles, cette église du XIIIe siècle a conservé bien des atouts. Sa façade est ornée d'une superbe rosace richement sculptée et d'un précieux portail gothique du XVIe siècle. L'intérieur, prodigieusement riche, cache des trésors. Sur les piliers de la nef centrale sont installées des statues allégoriques de Giacomo Serpotta (1723). Dans plusieurs chapelles, on peut admirer les oeuvres sculptées de Gagini et dans celle de l'Immacolata, aux fastueux marbres polychromes, on trouve des sculptures du XVIIIe siècle de Raguse.
The church dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi is the most beautiful Gothic church in Palermo. Despite its restructuring in the 16th and 19th centuries, this 13th-century church has retained many assets. Its facade is adorned with a superb richly carved rose window and a precious Gothic portal from the 16th century. The prodigiously rich interior hides treasures. On the pillars of the central nave are installed allegorical statues of Giacomo Serpotta (1723). In several chapels, you can admire the sculpted works of Gagini and in that of the Immacolata, with sumptuous polychrome marbles, there are 18th century sculptures from Ragusa.
