One of the few saints who is also highly valued outside of Christianity is San Francesco, known in the German-speaking world as Francis of Assisi. Francis was born in Assisi in 1181/82 and died in 1226. In his youth as the son of wealthy parents he was a bon vivant, but later he turned to Christ. In the dilapidated little church of San Damiano, on the hillside outside the city walls of Assisi, he was praying one day and heard the voice of Christ coming down from the cross, urging him to "rebuild his church". At first he took this request literally and restored the church building, later he came to realize that this is primarily about the church as the community of believers.
Many people joined him, and the Order of the Friars Minor of Francis of Assisi was born. Today in the broad Franciscan religious family there are three male branches: the Franciscans, the Minorites and the Capuchins; and two females: the Franciscans and the Poor Clares.

The gate is characterized by a large round arch. Next to the gate is a crenellated tower. It is part of the approximately five kilometer long defensive wall around the city.
