Assisi, Basilica of Saint Francis ???????? Travel in Italy - Travel & Discover
Assisi, a medieval city built on a hill, is the birthplace of Saint Francis, closely associated with the work of the Franciscan Order. Its medieval art masterpieces, such as the Basilica of San Francesco and paintings by Cimabue, Pietro Lorenzetti, Simone Martini and Giotto, have made Assisi a fundamental reference point for the development of Italian and European art and architecture.

Day Trip to Assisi, Italy
Though the weather was miserable, we had a great time anyways. Assisi, at the moment, is one of my favorite places in Italy -- the still standing Medieval town has beautiful architecture, rich history and a Basilica that is drop dead gorgeous. To those of you history/religious buffs, Assisi is the birthplace of Saint Francis (of the Franciscan Order).
I could not do a lot of shooting of building because it required me to tilt the camera up and it was raining like no other. As always, pardon the shakiness -- on top of the camera being heavy, I was holding an umbrella while filming. Talk about multi-tasking!
Enjoy!
ITALY: EXPLORING the cave of ST FRANCIS ???? (SAN FRANCESCO D' ASSISI)
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit The Eremo delle Carceri which is a hermitage complex located in a steep forest gorge in Umbria, in central Italy, four kilometers above Assisi.
In the 13th century, Saint Francis of Assisi would often come to this place to pray and contemplate, as did other hermits before him. When he first came in 1205, the only building here was a tiny 12th-century oratory. Soon, other men followed him to the mountain, finding their own isolated caves nearby in which to pray. The oratory became known as Santa Maria delle Carceri after the small prisons occupied by friars in the area.
Francis dedicated himself to a life of preaching and missions, but throughout his life he would frequently withdraw to the Carceri to pray.
In the centuries that followed, various buildings were added around St. Francis' cave and the original oratory, forming the sizable complex that exists today. Today some Franciscan monks live there and visitors are welcome.
Italy, a European country with a long Mediterranean coastline, has left a powerful mark on Western culture and cuisine. Its capital, Rome, is home to the Vatican as well as landmark art and ancient ruins. Other major cities include Florence, with Renaissance masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s David and Brunelleschi's Duomo; Venice, the city of canals; and Milan, Italy’s fashion capital.

Assisi and Italian Country Charm
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | Check your local public television station for this Rick Steves’ Europe episode or watch it on In the Italian countryside, we'll connect with rustic, traditional culture: enjoying an agriturismo (farmhouse inn), seeing how prosciutto and pecorino cheese are made, and hiking to the bottom of deep and ancient wine cellars. We'll end in Assisi — the hometown of St. Francis — which retains its spiritual aura to this day. Like pilgrims, we'll explore its stony center before trekking to its awe-inspiring basilica, built on the tomb of the beloved saint.

Assisi, Italy
We had decided that our next destination after leaving Rome would be to the ancient town of Assisi.
Rick Steves has a couple of excellent Audio Guides for Assisi so we walked to where the walking guided tour began. We spent the next hour wandering the streets and learning all about the history of this town.
Pilgrims have been coming to Assisi since the 13th century to pay homage to St Francis, who was born, worked and buried here.
We ended up at the majestic St Francis Basilica. There is an upper and lower basilica built in his memory. It is on a grand scale and beautifully restored and maintained.

Beautiful Town of Italy - Assisi & Umbria Region | Italy Road Trip Travel Vlog | Episode 5
This is the ongoing series of our Italy road trip. After exploring the Tuscany region we headed towards the Umbria region. We stayed in an Olive farm overlooking the town of Foligno and visited the beautiful medieval town of Assisi. If you are ever visiting Umbria region, do visit this beautiful town. It is straight out of a medieval storybook. We absolutely loved our time there and were so awed that we forgot to vlog. We also had plans to visit Norcia but due to some construction work, the road was closed.

Travel writer, photographer and Tripologist Michael Gebicki and partner, Liz Ryan, have designed an 11-day tour of Umbria.
“We’ve put together a 11-day itinerary starting from Rome in late April and taking in the best of Umbria. We’re based for eight nights in a simple boutique hotel at the top of Trevi, from where we’ll make exploratory trips through this compact region.
This is a small group tour, maximum 10 guests, travelling at a slow pace.
We’ll see superb artworks, but we’ll also get mud on our boots searching for truffles, the black gold of Umbria,We’ll stand where St Francis of Assisi preached a new message of love, sample the intense Sagrantino wine made from grapes that grow only around the hill town of Montefalco.”

Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, Assisi, Perugia, Umbria, Italy, Europe
The Papal Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Order of Friars Minor Conventual in Assisi, a town of Umbria region in central Italy, where Saint Francis was born and died. The basilica is one of the most important places of Christian pilgrimage in Italy. With its accompanying friary, Sacro Convento, the basilica is a distinctive landmark to those approaching Assisi. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. The basilica, which was begun in 1228, is built into the side of a hill and comprises two churches known as the Upper Church and the Lower Church, and a crypt where the remains of the saint are interred. The interior of the Upper Church is an important early example of the Gothic style in Italy. The Upper and Lower Churches are decorated with frescoes by numerous late medieval painters from the Roman and Tuscan schools, and include works by Cimabue, Giotto, Simone Martini, Pietro Lorenzetti and possibly Pietro Cavallini. The range and quality of the works gives the basilica a unique importance in demonstrating the development of Italian art of this period. The Franciscan friary (Sacro Convento) and the Lower and Upper Basilicas of Francis of Assisi were begun in honor of this local saint, immediately after his canonization in 1228. Simone di Pucciarello donated the land for the church, a hill at the west side of Assisi, known as Hill of Hell (Italian: Colle d'Inferno) where previously criminals were put to death. Today, this hill is called Hill of Paradise. On 16 July 1228, Francis was canonized by Pope Gregory IX in Assisi, and he laid the foundation stone of the new church the following day, although construction may already have been begun. The construction having been begun at his order, the Pope declared the church to be the property of the papacy. The church was designed by Maestro Jacopo Tedesco, who was in those days the most famous architect. The construction was supervised by Brother Elias of Cortona, one of the first followers of Saint Francis and the former Vicar General of the Order under Saint Francis. The Lower Basilica was finished in 1230. On Pentecost 25 May 1230, the remains of Saint Francis were brought in a solemn procession to the Lower Basilica from its temporary burial place in the church of San Giorgio (St. George), now the Basilica of Saint Clare of Assisi. The burial place was concealed for fear that St Francis' remains might be stolen and dispersed. The construction of the Upper Basilica was begun after 1239 and was completed in 1253. Both churches were consecrated by Pope Innocent IV in 1253. Pope Nicholas IV, a former Minister-General of the Order of Franciscans, raised the church to the status of Papal Church in 1288. The Piazza del Loge, the square leading to the church, is surrounded by colonnades constructed in 1474. They housed the numerous pilgrims flocking to this church. In 1818, the remains of Saint Francis were rediscovered beneath the floor of the Lower Basilica. In the reign of Pope Pius IX the crypt was built so that the faithful might visit the burial place of the saint. On 27 October 1986 and January 2002, Pope John Paul II gathered in Assisi with more than 120 representatives of different religions and Christian denominations for a World Day of Prayer for Peace.
