Chiesa dei Santi Francesco e Giustina, Rovigo

The Church of Saints Francis and Justina is a religious building located in the historic center of Rovigo, capital of the province of the same name in the Veneto region of Italy and the Polesine territory.

Built between the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century to meet the religious needs of the adjacent and now defunct Franciscan monastery, traces of which remain in the rectory house, and initially dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi, it assumed its present name, adding also that of St. Justina, virgin and martyr, after the demolition of the church of St. Justina to make way for the present-day Piazza Garibaldi. The original building, of Gothic setting, underwent profound renovations that, greatly enlarged, also changed the position of the facade, now in neoclassical taste, which characterizes its present appearance.

In the territorial subdivision of the Catholic Church, it is placed in the vicariate of Rovigo, itself part of the diocese of Adria-Rovigo, and is a parish seat.
