Description

We had a perfect day when visiting Assisi in early spring. The highlight of our time there was touring the Basilica of St. Francis located at the far side of this medieval city, overlooking the hills of Umbria. Beautiful, yet relatively simple compared to other basilicas that we had seen, the experience exceeded our expectations and was in keeping with the information about St. Francis' preference for an austere lifestyle and his focus on serving the poor and needy. St. Francis is entombed in the lower church directly under the primary upper church where masses are conducted.
