Join us for a truly unique experience—a virtual walking tour of the world-famous Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, an event that happens just once a year thanks to a special permission. This is your chance to explore one of Italy’s most iconic landmarks, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2000, from the comfort of your own home. Don’t let this unique opportunity slip away!

Assisi, nestled in the green heart of Italy, Umbria, is a charming medieval town and the birthplace of Saint Francis. At its heart stands the Basilica of St. Francis, a masterpiece of history, faith, and art. This breathtaking monument isn’t just an architectural wonder—it’s a treasure trove of Italian painting from the 13th and 14th centuries.

Thanks to our expert local guide, Patrizia, you’ll have a look at the Lower Church, a Romanesque marvel, before moving on to the spectacular Gothic Upper Church. The Upper Church is home to the extraordinary frescoes of Cimabue and Giotto, whose scenes from the life of St. Francis have captivated visitors for centuries. Patrizia’s insights and storytelling will transport you to the heart of this sacred place, making this experience unforgettable.

Don’t let this once-a-year opportunity pass you by. Reserve your spot today and experience the wonder of the Basilica of St. Francis as if you were truly there!
