The church of Santi Francesco e Giustina was built between the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century to meet the religious needs of the adjacent Franciscan monastery, which has now disappeared. The original building, of Gothic design, underwent important renovations which, after having been considerably enlarged, also changed the position of the facade, now in neoclassical style, which characterises its current appearance. The first body of the Church of St. Francis was built between 1297 and 1300 in the Gothic style, with a single nave, five apsidal chapels and a facade overlooking the present-day Via Silvestri. In 1413, the church was enlarged with a nave on the right side with five communicating chapels. The bell tower was built in 1520 and the central apse was further extended in 1533.
