Churches in Assisi

The current prosperity of Assisi is, ironically, tied to a humble saint who shunned riches.

This ancient monument still stands in the middle of Assisi as a witness of the city's long history.

While the church that gets the most attention in Assisi is the Basilica of St Francis, the city's Cathedral is also worth a visit.

When Saint Francis of Assisi wanted a chapel to pray and worship, he was given a long-abandoned stone church from the Benedictines.
