    Hiking

    There are several chapels along the 78 meter long corridor from the basilica to the Chapel of the Stigmata, which is called Corridoio delle stimmate (“Corridor of the Stigmata”). The corridor was built so that the daily procession to the Chapel of the Stigmata could be carried out in any weather.
    In the middle of the aisle is the so-called “Bed of St. Francis”, a damp and cold grotto (Letto di S. Francesco). St. Francis rested on a smooth surface covered by an iron grille.

    A nasty crevice in the rock, wet and cold.
