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.
The Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi is a masterpiece of medieval architecture and one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the Catholic world. It consists of two churches: the Lower Basilica and the Upper Basilica, each with its own spiritual and artistic significance. Together, the two levels of the basilica represent both the ascetic and transcendent elements of St. Francis's legacy, offering visitors an unforgettable spiritual and cultural experience.
Piazza del Comune is the vibrant heart of Assisi, serving as its main square and a lively gathering place for both locals and visitors. Surrounded by medieval buildings, the square blends history and everyday life in perfect harmony.
