Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli - Porziuncola
As vast numbers of pilgrims came flocking to Assisi to receive the "Pardon of Assisi" the small space of the Porziuncola became completely inadequate to house all these pilgrims. The necessity grew to build a church incorporating the Porziuncola. The buildings around the shrine were taken down by order of Pope Pius V (1566-1572), except the Chapel of the Transito, the cell in which St. Francis had died. Construction of the basilica started on 25 March 1569.

Splendid baroque residence with frescoed vaults at the beginning of the seventeenth century by Umbrian and Tuscan painters - the Pinacoteca Comunale di Assisi is on display, which includes a conspicuous group of medieval and Renaissance frescoes
10 minutesBasilica di Santa Chiara
Visit the church of Santa Chiara , The church was built, after the death of Santa Chiara, between 1257 and 1265, around the ancient church of San Giorgio, which until 1230 had kept the mortal remains of St. Francis

The mystic town of Saint Francis, sill surrounded by its ancient walls, built on the green slopes of Mount Subasio, with its colourful houses of ink stone.
