What To Expect
Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d'Assisi
The Basilica of St. Francis is a sacred place par excellence and destination of Christian pilgrimage, visited by millions of tourists every year. Since 1230 it has preserved and guarded the mortal remains of the Saint, according to tradition it was Francis himself who chose the place of his burial, it is the place where the "lawless" were usually buried, condemned by justice. Francis was proclaimed a Saint at only two years of his death on July 16, 1228, and the next day, they laid the foundation stone for the construction of his imposing Basilica, a complex of immense artistic value, both for its architecture and for its precious frescoes and interior decoration. The Upper Basilica has a Gothic, bright and slender appearance, and the Lower Basilica is lower and more austere. The beating heart of the Basilicas would be the Crypt with the Tomb of St. Francis. Other places to visit are: the Basilica of Santa Chiara and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli.

Basilica di Santa Chiara
The Church of Santa Chiara is undoubtedly the second most visited building in Assisi after the Basilica of San Francesco, inside the Basilica is the body of Santa Chiara. Today we see two miracles of Saint Clare, the first done to her sister Agnes and the second, the miracle of bread, done to all the sisters of the community in San Damiano. The Basilica built with the typical white and pink stone of Mount Subasio rises on a large square, from which you can enjoy the view of the valley and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli.
Chiara Scifi (16 July 1194 – 11 August 1253) was an Italian religious, collaborator of Francis of Assisi and founder of the order of Poor Clares: she was canonized as Saint Clare in 1255 by Alexander IV in the cathedral of Anagni.

Assisi, the city where Saint Francis, patron saint of Italy, and Saint Clare lived and died. The oldest evidence of human presence in the territory of Assisi dates back to the Neolithic.

Dominating it are its wonders, the great Basilica of San Francesco and the bulk of the Rocca Maggiore. City of Umbria, city, as homeland of St. Francis. Deeply ascetic, he was also known as "the poor man of Assisi" for his choice to devote himself to all material goods and to lead a minimal life, in total harmony of spirit.
