500 meters from the old town towards Anguillara station
The first document in which the church of St. Francis is mentioned is in an authorization issued in 1468, by the Pope Paul II to the "University and to the citizens of Anguillara", to build a convent for the conventual friars. Another document mentions the consecration of the church, the text is inscribed on a marble slab, which is still stored today at the Church of the Collegiate, from which we can deduce that the Franciscans settled in Anguillara in 1468 and consecrated the church in 1488, through the Bishop of Sutri, Bidacus Melendes de Valdes. The building consists of a single aisle with a truss roof and a presbytery or choir with a ribbed cross vault. Some of the walls of the aisle and the end walls of the choir are decorated with a series of coeval paintings at the foundation. The paintings in the presbytery, which date back to 1490, have been attributed to Domenico Velandi; they reproduce the Madonna with Child, situated between Saints Appollonia, Lawrence, John the Baptist, Francis, Leonard and Pope Silvester. The paintings on the nave are to be attributed to the school of the maestro Velandi and they are of inferior quality with respect to those of the choir. On the left-hand wall of the nave there is a fragment of a fresco coming from one of the Iunettes of the adjoining convent, it reproduces the nativity -and an aedicule from the 1700 's. On the right -hand wall, apart from other paintings, there are two altars dating back to the 1700's, which have recently been restored, and there are al so three marble plaques.

Convent
The convent, which is almost completely in ruins, is situated alongside the Church; it was once centered around a cloister paved with little cert. pebbles, with a well in the middle and a portico that opened at the sides. Around it there were the residences of the friars. In the lunettes, formed by the arches of the vaults that supported the upper floor there were frescos depicting scenes from the life of Saint Francis and the three coats of arms of the Iacometti, Guidi and Farnese families. The frescoes have now disappeared completely.
