Our tour begins at the Basilica of St. Clare, a majestic Gothic church dedicated to St. Clare, the founder of the Poor Clares and a close companion of St. Francis. Admire its striking pink and white stone façade, sourced from Mount Subasio, and step inside to marvel at the simplicity of its interior. Here, you'll find the Crucifix of San Damiano, which is said to have spoken to St. Francis, inspiring his spiritual journey. Don't miss the peaceful crypt housing St. Clare's relics.
Next, we’ll walk to the Piazza del Comune, the vibrant main square of Assisi. This bustling hub is lined with charming medieval buildings and lively cafes. At its heart stands the Temple of Minerva, a remarkable Roman temple built in the 1st century BCE. Its well-preserved Corinthian columns are a stunning contrast to the medieval structures surrounding it. Today, the temple houses the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, blending ancient Roman and Christian influences seamlessly.
Finally, we arrive at the Basilica of St. Francis, the crown jewel of Assisi and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This architectural masterpiece is divided into the Upper and Lower Basilicas, each offering unique treasures. The Upper Basilica boasts stunning frescoes by Giotto, depicting the life of St. Francis with vivid detail and emotional depth. Descend to the Lower Basilica, where dimly lit chapels create an atmosphere of reverence, and visit the crypt containing the tomb of St. Francis himself.
As you stroll through Assisi’s cobbled streets, you'll feel the enduring legacy of its saints and artists. This tour not only showcases the town’s spiritual significance but also its role as a cradle of art and culture. We hope you leave with unforgettable memories and a renewed sense of peace.
