CHIESA DI SAN FRANCESCO
One of the most beautiful examples of Catalan Gothic architecture in Alghero
This church is one of the most beautiful examples of Catalan Gothic architecture. However, it shows the harmonious marriage between the different architectural forms throughout the ages. The Gothic style includes the presbytery with its star-shaped vault, the large rose window on the pediment and the upper part of the 16th century. The Romanesque cloister, made of sandstone, has 22 columns resting on polyhedral bases. In summer, concerts are held here during the Alghero International Music Festival. A hotel now occupies the convent.
