What To Expect
Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli
An interesting visit to St. Francis Basilica with his early Renaissance master-pieces by Giotto and Cimabue and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli. Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels , After the death of Saint Francis in 1226, the friars built several small huts around the Porziuncola. In 1230, a refectory and some adjacent buildings were added. In the course of time, little porticoes and accommodations for the friars were added around the Porziuncola. Some foundations of these were discovered during excavations under the floor of the present basilica between 1967 and 1969. 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.
Basilica 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

5.00I had a great day Marie and Adam collected me at my Hotel at 6.45 AM. Marie was a wonderful guide. She looked after me really well. Adam was a great driver. I felt safe with him. The whole day was a. spiritual experience. The Church in Orvieto was beautiful. We then Journeyed to Assisi. What an amazing place. I saw the beautiful Church outside the city walls. Inside is the little Church that ST Francis built. I spent the afternoon with a wonderful Guide, Marco who took me on an amazing journey behind the City Walls. Be prepared to do a lot of walking and climbing stairs. But it’s well worth it. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
