The church, which dates back to between the second half of the 13th century and the early 14th century, has a single nave with a gabled roof, a slightly protruding transept and a polygonal apse, covered with a cross vault and flanked by two chapels. The two-coloured wall facing of the fa\u00e7ade is rather unusual in a Franciscan church. The apse is opened by a pointed double lancet window similar in style to those on the sides.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous frescoes have been discovered and restored. Among the oldest is the 14th-century fresco depicting the Triumph of Death, attributed to Bartolo di Fredi. On the left wall of the transept is a large fresco from the Sienese school with three scenes in three overlapping bands (Stigmata of St Francis, Madonna Enthroned between Saints Christopher and George, Epiphany).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the Church of San Francesco in Lucignano, a medieval building with a two-coloured fa\u00e7ade and precious 14th-century frescoes, including the Triumph of Death attributed to Bartolo di Fredi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":236097,"template":"","village-conntection":[50787],"what-to-see-region-and-provinces":[76211,76210],"what-to-see-category":[30159],"class_list":["post-309061","what-to-see","type-what-to-see","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","village-conntection-lucignano-it","what-to-see-region-and-provinces-arezzo-en","what-to-see-region-and-provinces-tuscany","what-to-see-category-place-of-cult"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see\/309061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/what-to-see"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see\/309061\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"village-conntection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village-conntection?post=309061"},{"taxonomy":"what-to-see-region-and-provinces","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see-region-and-provinces?post=309061"},{"taxonomy":"what-to-see-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see-category?post=309061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
