São Francisco is a district ( bairro ) of the municipality of Curitiba , the capital of the Brazilian state Paraná . It is located in the center and is one of the historic districts with great tourist attraction.

The earliest name was Pátio de Nossa Senhora do Terço (Court of Our Lady of the Rosary). In 1752 this church property came into the possession of the Franciscans and became the Pátio de São Francisco das Chagas (Court of San Francisco das Chagas). In 1860 the property was changed to Largo da Ordem Terceira de São Francisco (Square of the Third Order of Saint Francis), with the abbreviated form São Francisco becoming popular over time and used in the mapping and division of Curitiba into districts or bairros at the beginning of the 20th century Century.
