Bagnoregio. Convent of the Minors or of Old Saint Francis

In Bagnoregio, the convent and church dedicated to Saint Francis dates back to the 13th century.

It was later modernized in the 18th century by the architect Francesco Tiroli.

According to history, it is in the old convent where the prayers of St. Francis healed St. Bonaventure when he was a sick child.

It was then thanks to a miracle of St. Bonaventure that a rich woman of Alviano donated the money to make the facade and the door of the church.

The convent today welcomes the students of the high school of Agriculture.
