BASILICA OF SAN FRANCISCO EL GRANDE
Huge baroque temple with a traditional tourist circuit passing by the places of an ancient chapel
This immense baroque temple, located away from La Latina and therefore from the traditional tourist circuit, occupies, according to legend, the site of an ancient chapel built by Saint Francis of Assisi in the 13th century. It stands out for its paintings by Goya or Zurbarán and for its monumental dome. It is the largest in Spain and the fourth largest in Europe, after those of St Peter's Basilica and the Pantheon in Rome, and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence.
