The Basilica of S. Maria degli Angeli was built between 1569 and 1679 at the behest of Pope St. Pius V in order to guard the chapels of the Porziuncola, the Transito and the Rose Garden and other places made sacred by the memory of St. Francis. The original project by Galeazzo Alessi is characterized by a rigorous structural simplicity, conforming to the Franciscan ideal of poverty.

The large - and magnificent, but with its baroque splendor not quite fitting to the Franciscan ideal - cathedral "Santa Maria degli Angeli" is not in the historical core of the old town of Assisi, which nestles along the mountain slope of Monte Subasio, but down in the Level. This church was built - like a sweeping cloak - around the "Portiuncula", a small chapel that still exists in the middle of the nave and is one of the original and important Franciscan shrines.
