Learn about the history of St. Francis of Assisi, one of Italy's patron saints, with this Assisi Guided Tour. Explore the most important streets, squares and churches around the pilgrimage city.
The city of origin of St. Francis of Assisi is an important pilgrimage location for many, but it also surprises those who are not believers. For between 2 and 3 hours, we'll walk around the city and step back in time to find out about the founder of the Franciscan order and the order of Saint Clare.
We'll meet in the Piazza Giacomo Matteotti to begin our Assisi guided tour. Inside, where the remains of the Italian saint rest, we'll learn more about the life of Saint Clare.
Our next stop will be the Chiesa Nuova, constructed on the site of St. Francis of Assisi's family home. Although this old home has been converted into a church, the three portals that gave access to the house and the ground floor where St. Francis worked are still preserved.
The tour will continue to the Temple of Minerva, located in Piazza del Comune, whose origins date back to the first century BC. Built in honour of the goddess of war, it was converted into a church centuries later as was the case with the Agrippa Pantheon in Rome.
After leaving the temple, we'll arrive at the two most important visits, the Upper Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi and the Lower Basilica of St. Francis. We'll dedicate half an hour to each of them, stopping to take in all of the details that form the UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Upper Basilica will surprise you with its bright and spacious character, as opposed to the darkness and limited space of the Lower Basilica. We'll explore its many chapels and the crypt containing the mortal remains of St. Francis.
The tour will end outside the Lower Basilica of St. Francis, after having visited the main corners of this city.
