Basilica di San Francesco

While in Assisi, we visited the magnificent Basilica of St. Francis! St. Francis is buried here, and the frescoes on the walls present the main events and miracles in Francis' life -- no photos allowed, but the basilica is a combination between medieval architecture and more modern renovation. Everything in Italy seems to be in a constant state of renovation!

Note: It was a little foggy the morning we got there!
