Description

The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi (Basilica Papale di San Francesco d'Assisi) is a prominent landmark in the Umbria region of Italy. Construction of the church commenced in 1228, over the crypt holding the remains of the Patron Saint of Italy and was completed in 1253. The architecture of the building is a combination of Romanesque and Gothic styles. The Upper Church has a facade of whitewashed brick and the interior is decorated with amazing frescoes that provide an insight into the history of Italian art. Assisi is a holy city for Christians and an important place of pilgrimage for those wanting to visit the city where Saint Francis spent his life. The Basilica is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
