In the lower part of the city is the church of another major mendicant order which found a warm welcome in Montalcino, the church of San Francesco. It was built in the thirteenth century in place of the church of Sant’Angelo in Castelvecchio and was then donated by the abbot of Sant’Antimo to the Franciscans for the care of souls in Montalcino. The interior is organized around a large hall . . .
