From the Assisi World / Stories

Church art and architecture in Assisi

Assisi’s churches differ in scale, period and purpose. San Francesco, San Rufino, Santa Chiara and the Porziuncola tell connected Franciscan stories through very different buildings.

Why go

Use this set to choose a focus rather than treat every sanctuary as interchangeable. San Francesco is central for frescoes and Francis’s tomb; San Rufino for Romanesque sculpture and the saints’ baptisms; Santa Chiara for Clare; Santa Maria degli Angeli for the small Porziuncola enclosed by a much larger basilica.

Useful to know

  • Compare San Rufino’s façade with the Gothic spaces of San Francesco and Santa Chiara.
  • Allow for Santa Maria degli Angeli to be a separate stop on the plain below the hill town.
