Church of San Francesco and the Eucharistic Miracle

Highlight • Religious Site

The "San Francesco" church was built between 1252 and 1258 on the remains of the wall of the "San Legonziano" church below, making it one of the first monastery churches in Abruzzo. This place was the alleged site of the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, which, according to Christian tradition, probably took place here in the 7th century. The facade of the current building in Gothic style has been well preserved over the centuries. The upper part of the church was then rebuilt due to earthquake damage in the first half of the 18th century with elements of different origins as well as with material from an adjacent chapel.
All in all a beautiful and impressive church that owes its importance less to its architecture than to the Eucharistic miracle - a visit is definitely worth it.
