★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is stunningly impressive. As an animal lover less so as no dogs allowed. The size and Deco is inspiring. Had to go round separately as one of us had to wait outside with the dogs. To the organisers we and probably most would have liked a blessing for our dogs. We would have paid for one.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ How can you review such a marvel!? You can simply walk in with deference and be admired. One of the hearts of Italian art, history and culture. A must-see not only for Umbria but for the whole of Italy, a necessary masterpiece for anyone who wants to fully understand the Italian soul and spirituality.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful church with fascinating paintings on the wall and ceiling. Of course Assisi is on the mountain so it is a bit difficult to reach it, bit this is standard in Umbria. If your guidebook says it is small city (as my does) then dont trust, you need couple of hours to visit few churches, forum Romanum and walk through beautiful streets.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Church used to be an extraordinary example of medieval Italian architecture, but it never recovered from recent earthquake that made parts of Basilica crash. Frescoes inside, especially in upper basilica, are to a large extent damaged beyond repair. Lower basilica is in better shape, though.
A few of remaining frescoes are by Giotto himself, most by his followers (of lesser quality) and some by Cimabue (including saint's portrait).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful church with an interesting history. It was built in the 13th century on a hill where death sentences were carried out, known as Hell's Hill. Later the name was changed to Paradise Hill (after the canonization of St. Francis). Here is the tomb of St. Francis.
When visiting the basilica, it is worth strolling the streets of Assisi. However, only 8 km away (approx. 20 minutes by car) there is another Basilica with an atmospheric, tiny church inside, rebuilt by St. Francis.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Basilica of St. Francis is marvellous and mystical place, bringing together a number of renaissance masterpieces and an extraordinary architectonic complexity. Cimabue, Giotto, the Lorenzetti brothers, Simone Martini – the greatest artists of the 14th Century, have painted frescoes on the walls and ceilings of this place. An obligatory destination for believers and non-believers alike, appreciating art and architecture.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This cathedral is an awe-inspiring place! All the frescos by Giotto are masterpieces. The place is steeped into history, religion and significance. Well worth the daily trip from Rome.
