A special and beautiful basilica to visit for any lover or St Francis. Be sure to stop and see his small chapel.
Currently the Basilica is a major building site due to extensive restoration work. This is not expected to be completed until sometime in 2025. So, unfortunately it is not the most spiritual or serene place to visit at this time. Saint Francis original church is still accessible but covered in protective scaffolding.
The basilica is also called porsicula means portions of land. Inside this basilica, has the church built by St Francis as he started his vocation in 1206.
The basilica encapsulates the small church used by St. Francis as his first monastic foundation.
It's a beautiful basilica but it's going through a renovation/fixing era. Therefore you're not going to be able to fully enjoy the church with its paintings. However, you will have a special moment for prayer there and one relic from San Francisco. You'll also be able to witness the rose garden of San Francisco and the little cell in which he used to sleep about other little treasures like the gift shop.
Absolutely beautiful! It has a church inside a church. And a special place in the spot where St. Francis of Assisi actually died singing. The are doing renovations so you can't see everything. But there is still plenty of beautiful things to see.
This is a very special place because inside this enormous church is the tiny church worshipped in by St Francis of Assisi. At the moment the outer church has scaffolding around much of the dome and inside as many repairs are taking place. However, you can still see the impressive art work and architecture. The small church is very special and still has the frescos inside. You can walk along a special bricked pathway from Assisi.
What a stunning basilica. Major restoration works taking place at the moment so lots of frescos and statues were covered and not accessible but the parts that have already been restored are stunningly beautiful. Was fortunate to go when a service was just about to start. Although I cannot speak Italian the wonderful singing of the friars was very moving.
A very nice basilica in Assisi, probably often overlooked because people flock up to the hilltop to the town and the more famous basilica and other attractions. This is on the other side of the main train station of Assisi. It’s actually walkable distance from the train station. There is a nice museum, rose garden and gift shop in side as well. The piazza Della Porziuncola in front of the basilica is quite large and nice to walk around and take in the beauty of this place.
Often overlooked, but worth your time. Inside the Basilica , you will find the Porziuncola, where the young St. Francis prays , reflects and understood his vocation. At the back of the Basilica there are a lot of parking spaces. A must see if you are in Assissi.
Imposante de l'extérieur , grande place qui conduit à l'entrée , magnifique vue sur la sainte vierge toute dorée or . Peu fréquentée en fin d'après midi.
Messe en soirée.
A sa droite , petite place , avec bancs et jolie Fontaine , jolie vue ...
Des boutiques de souvenirs plutôt discrètes comparées à Lourdes ,bien ...Le centre ville avec ses bars et restaurants n'est plus très loin , à pieds .On peut dîner dès 19h30.
Pas mal de glaciers et crêperies, les glaces italiennes au top , sans modération 😁
Intérieur en restauration.
Au centre la chapelle de saint François très fréquentée.
Messe à l'arrière en Italien , du monde , mais salle aux dimensions raisonnables. Auparavant des prières devant la chapelle de Saint François.
