The Basilica of Santa Chiara is dedicated to St. Clare of Assisi. The construction of the church and the adjacent monastery began in 1257, three years after the death of Saint Clare and one year after her canonization. Until then, the nuns had lived in the convent of San Damiano. Clare was the companion of St. Francis of Assisi. She left her wealthy family home to live in extreme poverty. To this day, her remains rest in the crypt of the church built in her honor.
