According to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, Assisi constitutes a singular model of continuous history that is intertwined with this city-sanctuary's cultural and territorial identity. In particular, the Basilica of St. Francis brings together a number of masterpieces of creative human genius, and is an extraordinary example of the type of architectonic complexity that has significantly influenced the development of art and architecture.

Assisi (Italian pronunciation: [asˈsiːzi], from the Latin: Asisium) is a town and comune of Italy in the Province of Perugia in the Umbria region, on the western flank of Monte Subasio.
It is generally regarded as the birthplace of the Latin poet Propertius, born around 50–45 BC. It is the birthplace of St. Francis, who founded the Franciscan religious order in the town in 1208, and St. Clare (Chiara d'Offreducci), the founder of the Poor Sisters, which later became the Order of Poor Clares after her death. The 19th-century Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows was also born in Assisi. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisi

The Papal Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi (Italian: Basilica Papale di San Francesco, Latin: Basilica Sancti Francisci Assisiensis) 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.

Basilica di San Francesco d'Assisi
The basilica of San Francesco is located in Assisi, in Umbria and has been the place that has kept and guarded the mortal remains of the seraphic saint since 1230 .
Wanted by Pope Gregory IX as specialis ecclesia , it was awarded by the Pope himself the title of Caput et Mater of the Order of Minors and contextually entrusted in perpetuity to the same friars . It is part of the non-extraterritorial properties of the Holy See, therefore it does not enjoy diplomatic immunity . In the complex history that marked the evolution of the Order, the basilica (and the adjoining Sacred Convent ) was always looked after by the so-called "friars of the community", the group that later went on to form the Order of Friars Minor Conventual .
In the sepulchral church of the Basilica where the altar was erected over the tomb of the Saint, on 19 November 1585 , the Franciscan Pope Sixtus V established the Archconfraternity of the Cordigeri with the bull Supernae dispositionis . In 1754 Benedict XIV elevated it to the dignity of Patriarchal Basilica (since 2006 " Papal Basilica ") and Papal Chapel. In 2000 , together with other Franciscan sites in the surrounding area, the basilica was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List . It is an Italian national monument .
On 15 July 1228 , just two years after his death, Francis was proclaimed a saint by Pope Gregory IX ; the day after, the same pope and friar Elia da Cortona , until the year before the vicar general of the Order of minors , laid the first stone of the imposing basilica , as agreed the year before. It was soon clear that the new temple would be a specialis ecclesia , i.e. both the sanctuary housing the remains of the saint and the mother church of the Order.
Last look before heading out of Assisi, down to the other Basilica further out of town.

On the guided tour of Assisi.
Our guide took us down Via San Francesco, before entering Chiesa inferiore di San Francesco. After that he would take us up to Chiesa superiore di San Francesco. But we were not allowed to take photos inside.
Was mostly frescos of St Francis's life and other religious paintings.
