San Francesco is one of Grosseto's oldest churches, dating to the 13th century. Its Gothic facade is simple, but inside you'll find beautiful frescoes from the Sienese school, including a notable Crucifixion. The highlight is the peaceful cloister, with its elegant arches and a central well, offering a quiet escape from the city bustle. The church also houses a wooden crucifix from the 1300s.
