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

5.00Both our tour guides Maria and Merika as well as Natalia our van driver were very friendly and accommodating. We ended up customizing our tour and visited only Assisi, including basilica of Santa Chiara, Carlo Acutis body, papal basilica of Saint Francis and basilica de Santa Maria degli Angeli. The drive and the visits were incomparable, Maria helped us appreciate the beauty along the way, she gave us lots of local background stories and information to help us appreciate the region and the wonderful basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli. That was followed by Merika, who took us for a private walking tour in Assisi. They were very engaging, patient with our needs and questions, explaining clearly and timing our trip perfectly. It’s well worth the money.
