ASSISI, THE BASILICA OF ST FRANCIS AND OTHER FRANCISCAN SITES

[same text in Italian and French]

As regards historical continuity Assis is a unique example of a holy city where the old town centre and cultural landscape together with the civic and religious monuments are all well set into its natural environment. The artistic and architectural masterpieces - such as the Basilica of St Francis, the frescoes by Cimabue, Pietro Lorenzetti, Simone Martini and Giotto form a cardinal point of reference in the history of Italian and European art. The birthplace of St. Francis has been, since medieval times, intrinsically identified with the veneration of the saint and the spread of the Franciscan movement, which has communicated its message of peace and tolerance throughout the world.
