Cloister of San Francesco

A peaceful pause in the old city

The Cloister of San Francesco offers a quieter kind of sightseeing experience. Connected with the Franciscan presence in Pistoia, it gives visitors a moment of calm, rhythm and architectural simplicity.

Its value is in the atmosphere: the enclosed space, the proportions and the sense of retreat from the busy streets nearby.

It is a rewarding stop for slow travellers, photographers and anyone who enjoys discovering contemplative spaces inside historic cities.
