- Basilica di Santa Chiara - The Basilica of St. Clare of Assisi, constructed with the distinctive pink stone from the Subasio mountain quarry, houses valuable frescoes from the 12th to the 14th century. In the chapel on the right, along the singular nave of St. Clare of Assisi, ending in a transept and polygonal apse, visitors can admire the Crucifix, which, according to tradition, invited St. Francis in the church of St. Damiano to “rebuild the Church.”
- Chiesa Nuova - The Chiesa Nuova is a church in Assisi, Italy, constructed in 1615 on the site believed to be the birthplace of St. Francis, the home of Pietro di Bernardone. It was named Chiesa Nuova because it was the most recent church built in Assisi at that time.
- Santa Maria sopra Minerva - The Temple of Minerva is an ancient Roman structure in Assisi, Umbria, central Italy. It currently houses the church, Santa Maria sopra Minerva, built in 1539 and renovated in the Baroque style during the 17th century.
- Centro Storico di Assisi - In the square, one can see one of Italy’s best-preserved Roman temples – Minerva’s temple – surrounded by impressive medieval government buildings.
- Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d’Assisi - Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Basilica of St. Francis was constructed under the guidance of Brother Elias, vicar general and architect of the order, beginning in 1228, just two years after the saint’s passing, as a place intended to house his remains.
- Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d’Assisi - While the solemn and dim lower basilica encourages penance and silence, the upper church rises into the sky, light and airy. In a Gothic style with French influences, the nave features four bays, cross vaulting, and a polygonal transept and apse.
