★ ★ ★ ★ ★ La chiesa è stata ricostruita dopo i bombardamenti dell'ultima guerra. Si è salvato il transetto... E meno male, perché si può ammirare il monumento sepolcrale a Papa Adriano V di Arnolfo di Cambio a destra, mentre a sinistra del transetto il sepolcro di un altro papa, Clemente IV, di Pietro di Oderisio.
The church was rebuilt after the bombing of the last war. The transept was saved ... And thank goodness, because you can admire the sepulchral monument to Pope Adriano V by Arnolfo di Cambio on the right, while to the left of the transept is the sepulcher of another Pope, Clemente IV, by Pietro di Oderisio.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Suggestiva chiesa al centro storico Viterbo in stile romanico rivisitata gotica molto accogliente nonostante la grandezza. Mi ha colpito molto la semplicità ed il calore del parroco che ha celebrato la messa... davvero un bel luogo, ricco di spiritualità e bello da visitare....
Evocative church in the historic center of Viterbo in Romanesque style revisited Gothic very welcoming despite its size. I was very impressed by the simplicity and warmth of the parish priest who celebrated the mass ... a really beautiful place, rich in spirituality and nice to visit ....

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Probabilmente tanto importante quanto imponente...ma sempre chiusa. Frutto di una serie di ricostruzioni mantiene il vecchio impianto ma anche la facciata e il portone sono stati rifatti. Parte del monastero venne requisito ed è tutt'ora sede di un comando militare. Un peccato per il turismo.
Probably as important as it is impressive ... but always closed. The result of a series of reconstructions, it maintains the old system but also the facade and the door have been redone. Part of the monastery was requisitioned and is still the seat of a military command. A pity for tourism.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is built from 1237 on land donated by Pope Gregory IX to the Conventual Franciscan Order (OFMConv). Outside at the right side corner is a hexagonal pulpit (1238) as a memorial of Bernardino of Siena's preaching in Viterbo. The church has a bell tower with a bell from 1259.
The paintings of the ancient basilica were entirely frescoed (mostly by Antonio del Massaro) similarly to the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, most are lost when the church is partly destroyed by the Allied bombings on January 17, 1944. It is restored to its original Romanesque appearance and elevated as minor Basilica in 1949 but officially reopened in 1953.
Artworks which have survived include:
(1) Pietà by Tommaso Masini;
(2) baptismal font and a canvas of Madonna with Child and Saints by Monaldo Trofi;
(3) 1269 funerary monument of Pietro di Vico by Pietro Oderisi;
(4) 1270 funerary monument of Pope Clement IV (died 1268), by Pietro Oderisi;
(5) Gothic funerary monument of pope Adrian V (died 1276), attributed to Arnolfo di Cambio, with a rich Cosmatesque decoration;
(6) funerary statue, in peperino, of cardinal Vicedomino de Vicedominis; (7) the funerary monument of cardinal Marco of Viterbo (died in 1369);
(8) large funerary monument of cardinal Gerardo Landriani (died in 1445) (9) panel portraying Viterbo with Saints Antony of Padua and Rose of Viterbo (1572).
Inside the Church there is also the relics of St. Francis and St. Elizabeth of Hungary.
