    Like Assisi itself great peace to be found here. Time to consider and reflect! Beautiful frescoes to see. A wonderful oasis. Can't wait to go back.

    A "must see" attraction if you're in Assisi. There are two churches (upper and lower), and the tomb of St Francis. There is also a large exhibit about earthquakes, attributing to the major earthquake in 1997 which almost destroyed the main basilica. The exhibit seeks to raise awareness about earthquakes and how to design buildings which can stand a better chance of withstanding one without collapsing. It also describes in detail the work to prevent the basilica from falling down (work had to be done in real time, since more earthquakes were occurring all the time) and to repair the basilica afterwards.

    Almost every church in Italy is a work of art. This basilica was very beautifully restored. It has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. This basilica is also one of the most important venues of Christian pilgrimage. Pilgrims come here from all over the world to pray for a couple of hours or more, then fly/travel back home. This basilica was also the site where various religions (about 200 I think) gathered, upon the invitation of the Pope, to pray for world peace.

    As is at the Sistine Chapel, wear clothes you would normally wear going to church. Likewise, taking photos is not allowed as it damages the wall frescos. As the name of the basilica implies, this was built in commemoration of Saint Francis of Assisi. We got to see and pray at his tomb which is located underneath the basilica.

    This place brings good memories of younger years where I learned about Saint Francis' missionary work and teachings at the Jesuit school I attended back then.

    Francis described her as "more noble, wealthier, and more beautiful than you have ever seen." The description captures in every detail the then-blossoming and marriageable young woman of rank who, in time, would give her life to Francis. That is, Clare of Assisi.

    Religious or not this is a special place and from the Dalai Lama

    This is my simple religion:
    There is no need for temples;
    No need for complicated philosophy.
    Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; The philosophy is kindness!If you have got this far in the review… thanks….

    This is an awsome building. It is very beautiful, situated in the equally beautiful town of Assisi, and its history is interesting too. Do not miss it if you are nearby.
