About
The Papal Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels in Assisi, located in Assisi, Italy, is a significant religious site closely associated with Saint Francis of Assisi. Built between 1569 and 1679, the basilica was designed to enclose and protect the small, ancient chapel known as the Porziuncola, which is one of the most sacred sites for Franciscans. The Porziuncola is where Saint Francis founded the Franciscan order and where he received his divine calling. The basilica also houses the Cappella del Transito, the room where Saint Francis is believed to have died.
