Tempio di San Francesco

The Church of St Francis stands on a hilltop above the medieval town of Gaeta. Its neo-Gothic façade and the flight of steps leading up to it make the church easily recognisable even from the seafront, whilst from the outside the view opens out over the gulf and the rooftops of the old town.

It is a must-see for anyone wishing to view Gaeta from a different perspective and explore the relationship between architecture and landscape. The walk complements a visit to the historic centre; to enter the church, you will need to check the opening times.
