The Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi is a treasure that shows its splendor from the square in which it is located. Its spiritual and cultural value makes this building one of the most visited UNESCO monuments in the world.

It is also a gigantic book of images that narrate his life, the philosophy that inspired him and the greatness of his ideals.
