Cappella XIII detta "dell'umiltà di San Francesco"

This small, solitary church sits on level ground, its centralised plan a quiet architectural puzzle. A prismatic main volume is clasped by a rectangular niche and two semicircular side chapels, creating an effect of an abbreviated nave with an apsed transept. A portico fronts the whole, the only concession to a formal entrance. The principal roof is a pyramid of beola stone, a typical local slate, topped by an octagonal lantern. Stone rubble walls and brick vaults complete the structure. The dedication to the humility of Saint Francis suggests a Franciscan connection, a period when such remote, modest chapels were built for contemplative retreat. The precise geometry and careful massing, however, hint at a more sophisticated hand than simple rustic piety might suggest.
