The two basilicas of San Francesco (upper and lower) are certainly among the great beauties of Italy, which is also combined with the suggestion that the mystical place can exert.

The Basilica of San Francesco, which did not exist during the lifetime of Saint Francis of Assisi (1181/82 to 1226), is nevertheless one of the great "original shrines" of the Franciscan religious family, and a "must" for every Assisi resident. Visitors. As the church of the order's founder, it is of course very important spiritually - which is expressed, among other things, by the rare title of "Basilica major" (papal basilica); but then also in terms of art history, especially because of the great frescoes in the lower and upper churches (in the latter in particular the cycle with 28 pictures from the life of Saint Francis by Giotto Bondone). This place of worship is therefore rightly on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
