The Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi Virtual Tour- The Lower Church
Join us for the final chapter of our virtual tour series of the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi. In this special online experience, we’ll journey deep into the Lower Basilica, unveiling a hidden world rich with artistic treasures and history.
As we virtually descend beneath the basilica’s famous Gothic arches, a new atmosphere unfolds: intimate, warm, and quietly spectacular. Through beautifully presented slide, you’ll encounter masterpieces by some of medieval Italy’s greatest painters, including Simone Martini and Pietro Lorenzetti. These artists brought to life frescoes that still astonish visitors today, with vibrant colors, expressive figures, and intricate narratives that transport us back to the thriving artistic scene of the 14th century.
Our journey ends at the tomb of Saint Francis, located in a quiet underground space that has welcomed visitors from around the world for centuries. It’s a simple and powerful spot that invites reflection, whether or not you’re familiar with the saint’s life. Being there—even virtually—feels meaningful and unforgettable.
