Assisi, Italy - Church

Around 5 million tourists yearly have turned the little urban in Umbria into a flourishing vacationer hotbed that St. Francis himself wouldn't certainly label ascetic. Having spent a life of thoughtful magnificence, the presently aficionada saint of Italy gave it all up to found a Franciscan order and beg on the roads. The tale is actually amazing, and it is the event of this Friar Minor that draws masses to Assisi. The 13th-century Basilica di San Francesco, with the holy relics of Francis and wonderful frescoes essaying his life, with copious other churches, Roman ruins, sanctified shrines, and zigzag medieval streets make up for a virtually spiritual experience under the patronage of UNESCO.
