Ascoli Piceno - San Francesco

On the north side of the Piazza del Popolo, here traversed by the Corso Mazzini, the long principal street of the town, stands the Gothic hall-church of San Francesco (1258-1371) with a doorway in Venetian Gothic style, and linked to it the crenellated Loggia dei Mercanti (covered market; 1513). On the north side are two beautiful cloisters.
