Porta San Francesco

Highlight • Historical Site

One of the few saints who is also highly valued outside of Christianity is San Francesco, known in the German-speaking world as Francis of Assisi. Francis was born in Assisi in 1181/82 and died in 1226. In his youth as the son of wealthy parents he was a bon vivant, but later he turned to Christ. In the dilapidated little church of San Damiano, on the hillside outside the city walls of Assisi, he was praying one day and heard the voice of Christ coming down from the cross, urging him to "rebuild his church". At first he took this request literally and restored the church building, later he came to realize that this is primarily about the church as the community of believers.
Many people joined him, and the Order of the Friars Minor of Francis of Assisi was born. Today in the broad Franciscan religious family there are three male branches: the Franciscans, the Minorites and the Capuchins; and two females: the Franciscans and the Poor Clares.

San Francesco Complex

Highlight • Religious Site

The two basilicas of San Francesco (upper and lower) are certainly among the great beauties of Italy, which is also combined with the suggestion that the mystical place can exert.

Historic Center of Assisi

Highlight • Historical Site

The Umbrian city of Assisi is best known for San Francesco (Saint Francis) and is often visited because of him, but no less important is Saint Clara (Santa Chiara), who joined him and founded the branch of the "Clarissinas" within the Franciscan religious family .

Both of their churches of the Holy Sepulcher are located there, in the city in which they lived and worked:

Assisi Historic Center

Highlight • Historical Site

The Umbrian town of Assisi is commonly known as the city of Saint Francis. But this consideration would be too short-sighted. Saint Clare, who, as his spiritual sister, founded the female branch of the Franciscan religious family and is also buried here, also deserves equal attention.

Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva

Highlight • Religious Site

In the middle of the historic center of Assisi, on the market square (the "Piazza del Comune"), stands the church dedicated to the Mother of God with the title "Santa Maria sopra Minerva". In pre-Christian times, a pagan temple stood on this very prominent spot in the city. It was dedicated to the Roman goddess "Minerva", and the additional name of today's minor basilica still reminds us of this.

Rocca Maggiore

Highlight • Castle

Towering over Assisi is the mighty complex of the "Rocca Maggiore", the "big castle", once a sign of imperial power over the (quite self-confident) city (and accordingly unpopular with the citizens).
