The Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli is located 4 km from Assisi. Inside the Basilica there is the Porziuncola Chapel; the place most loved by Saint Francis and where God granted him special graces. Initially, the Porziuncola was an ancient chapel, surrounded by a small portion of forest (hence perhaps the name) belonging to the Benedictines of the Monastery of S. Benedetto del Monte Subasio. Having remained abandoned for a long time, it was restored by Francesco who rented it from Abbot Teobaldo. After the death of the Saint, some permanent buildings arose around the church: the friars' choir, various small oratories and then a small convent. In the second half of the 1500s Pius V ordered the construction of a large basilica that would enclose and protect the Porziuncola and welcome the crowds of pilgrims who continually flocked there.

The Basilica of Santa Chiara is a religious building, built in neo-Romanesque style, located in Assisi. The basilica is among the most famous in Italy and one of the most beautiful in Umbria. The church marks not only the historic center of the city but also a significant place from an artistic and cultural point of view. The Basilica of Santa Chiara was built by the Benedictine monks, who had the desire to honor Santa Chiara, born Agnese in 1194 and died on 13 September 1253. Currently, together with the Porziuncola, the Eremo delle Carceri, the Chiesa Nuova and the Basilica of San Damiano, the Cathedral of San Rufino and obviously the Basilica of San Francesco, is one of the centers where the pilgrimage to Assisi is concentrated.

The Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi, the place that has preserved the mortal remains of the seraphic saint since 1230, is one of the most important places of worship in Italy and the world. In 2000, the basilica was included in the UNESCO world heritage list. The first stone of the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi was laid on 16 July 1228, just two days after Francis' death and the day after his proclamation as a saint by Pope Gregory IX. According to tradition, it was Francis himself who indicated exactly the place where he wished to be buried. The church represents one of the cornerstones of the spread of Gothic in Italy. In addition to being the burial place of Saint Francis, it assumed fundamental importance for the papacy, which saw the Franciscan order as a great ally for strengthening ties with the humblest and most popular classes. The construction of the basilica was started in 1228 by Pope Gregory IX and then consecrated in 1253 by Pope Innocent IV.

Clear filterFabulous Experience in Assisi
Published on Jan, 2025
Monica our tour guide was amazing as was the Art Historian in Assisi. We greatly appreciated the Giotto's, cities and history. The lunch recommendation of pork sandwiches were gourmet. Adam the driver was very courteous. HIGHLY RECOMENDED.
A peaceful and informative tour!
Published on Jun, 2024
This was a wonderful day trip and such a relaxing change from the hustle and bustle of Rome. Our guide, Marie, was professional, prompt and very accommodating when we wanted to amend our trip to spend the remainder of our day in Assisi. This was due in part to the riveting two-hour tour that our local guide, Chiara, provided. The knowledge and passion she shared pertaining to St. Francis and St. Clara were infectious!! As a result, we only wanted to spend more time in the basilica and the charming walled portion of the city of Assisi. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning about St. Francis and the beautiful Basilica di San Francesco!
The best way to visit Assisi and Orvieto
Published on Nov, 2023
Our private tour day-trip to Assisi and Orvieto in late October, 2023 was perfect! My husband and I were picked up on time, in the early morning, at our hotel in Rome. Our driver, Giuseppe, was accompanied by our tour assistant, also name Giuseppe. Both men could not have been more friendly and considerate. We had an easy drive, first to Orvieto, and then to Assisi, making a rest stop along the way. Giuseppe described the countryside as we drove along and answered any/all of our questions. We asked to go to St. Patrick's Well; I highly recommend it! We saw the important sights of/around Orvieto, especially the magnificent Duomo. In Assisi, after a delicious local lunch, we stopped at the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and viewed the Portiuncula inside. In the old town of Assisi, we met up with our local guide, Begonia, who was with us for 2 hours. We had an extensive description of the life of St. Francis and also of the beautiful town. We visited the chapel of St. Clare; the lower church (where St. Francis is buried), and the upper Basilica...all with time for prayer, and with extensive descriptions and interpretations from Begonia. For our comfort, our driver dropped us off the meet Begonia at the upper part of the town of Assisi, giving us a gentle walk down to the Basilica where the driver later picked us up at the bottom. This was a full-day tour, but we never felt rushed or hurried. A bonus: on the drive back to our hotel in the heart of Rome, Giuseppe played music by Andrea Bocelli and Luciano Pavarotti as we drove through the enchanting Italian countryside. What a wonderful way to visit Assisi and Orvieto - well worth the investment!

This was outstanding. Just my wife and I, along with our guide and driver. We got a great tour of the Basilica of St. Francis, viewed his crypt, walked the city and were fortunate to have a great guide in Catrina. She was very much on top of her game. Knowledgeable, personable, patient, etc., etc. Took time to explain things and found us an excellent restaurant to have a relaxing lunch. The visit to Orvieto was more of the same. If you can take this long day tour, please do so. Worth the time and investment.
