What To Expect

Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli

The Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Assisi is a significant pilgrimage site for Catholics, located at the foot of the town. Built in the 16th century, this grand church was constructed to enclose the small, humble chapel known as the Porziuncola, where St. Francis of Assisi founded the Franciscan Order. The simple Porziuncola contrasts with the grandeur of the basilica, which features majestic frescoes, a stunning dome, and a serene rose garden said to be where St. Francis communed with God.
