Let's take a photo tour of the basilicas and churches of Assisi. Each one has its own unique character, but they all share a relationship with St. Francis and St. Clare. I have enough photos of churches for 2 postings. This is Part 1.
 |
| Basilica of St. Francis - where his tomb is in the Lower Basilica beneath the main altar of the Upper Basilica. |
 |
| Interior photos of the church built on the site of the Temple of Minerva. |
 |
| Chiesa Nuova (New Church) - built on top of the remains of the house of the parents of St. Francis and where his father kept St. Francis in a locked room so he would not become a mendicant....and the rest is history! |
 |
| Cell where St. Francis was held captive by his father. |
 |
| Duomo of San Rufino, where St. Francis and St. Clare were baptized as children. |
 |
| Baptismal font. |
 |
| Basilica of St. Clare, where St. Clare is buried and where Giotto's Cross of San Damiano now is kept. |
End of Part 1 - basilicas and churches of Assisi.
