According to church legend, the church was founded by Francis of Assisi himself. He died in 1226, and the church is mentioned in documents from 1229. The beginning of new construction works was recorded on May 12.1294, ie it was a reconstruction, probably designed by the famous architect Arnolfo di Cambio. It was one of the many reconstructions of the church, which preserved its Gothic character. The windows are decorated with stained glass. Several generations of Florentine masters of different artistic epochs worked on the decoration of the church: Giotto, Andrea Orcagni, Donatello, Taddeo Gaddi, Giorgio Vasari, Benedetto da Mayano.→
