Sacred Places

Basilica di Santa Chiara: This is famous for the cross of San Damiano and holds the remains of Clare in the crypt.

Cattedrale di San Rufino: It is considered to be one of the most important Romanesque religious buildings in Umbria and continues the history of the Fransican movement. This cathedral holds the font where Clare and Francis were baptized.

Basilica di San Francesco:
This is the church that many of us attended Mass at on Sunday.  St. Francis' tomb is located beneath this basilica.  It was built in his honor and contains many frescos telling a story of Francis giving away his possessions to God.
