The basilica was built by the Franciscans in the 13th and 14th centuries and has a tall single nave and a Baroque façade. The cloister next to it is Gothic, with slim columns and carved capitals, and the garden in the middle is calm. The visit is a short stop and sits well between the cathedral and the old streets.
