Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi - Private Tour

Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi - Private Tour

6
The Basilica of Saint Francis is the most-renowned church of Assisi, a breathtaking masterpiece of medieval art and architecture. Discover the secrets of Saint Francis, who lived the high-spirited life typical of a wealthy young man until he had a mystical vision of Jesus Christ, and decided to dedicate his whole existence to the poor and sick people. Admire the marvellous frescoes painted by Giotto, father of modern realistic art, "the most sovereign master of painting in his time”. Visit the Upper Church, slender and bright thanks to its Gothic style and the colorful glass windows, and the Lower Church, where the mortal remains of Saint Francis are preserved among amazing frescoes by the greatest Italian artists of the Middle Ages, like Cimabue and Simone Martini.

Private Tour to Basilica San Francisco de Asís with authorized guide

Private Tour to Basilica San Francisco de Asís with authorized guide

The Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi is a treasure that shows its splendor from the square in which it is located. Its spiritual and cultural value makes this building one of the most visited UNESCO monuments in the world. It not only houses the remains of Saint Francis, who was born in Assisi, founded the order, died and wanted to be buried there. It is also a gigantic book of images that narrate his life, the philosophy that inspired him and the greatness of his ideals. Scenes from the Old and New Testaments set in Italian cities 800 years ago were also made. Thus we see medieval knights and ladies at the feet of Christ on the Cross or the Last Supper celebrated around a table with plates, glasses, knives and jugs for water and wine. Beautiful women with light skin and golden hair who wear silk dresses and veils. A true “illustrated book” that our guide will help you decipher.
