"St. Francis of Assisi Cathedral, Rhodes"

The construction of the church, designed by architect Armando Bernabiti, started in 1936 and ended in 1939. In 1940 the church was equipped with an organ and enriched with 14 terracotta bas-reliefs depicting the Stations of the Cross, the sculptor Monteleone. 

The frescoes on the walls of the choir were painted by Pietro Gaudenzi. On the ceiling above the central altar, a cross rises, around which symbols of the four evangelists are arranged symmetrically. Gaudenzi's painting are also on the side altars representing, respectively, the Annunciation and St. Maurice.
