Sanctuary of Rivotorto, Gothic Revival shrine and church in Rivotorto, Italy.
The sanctuary features a pink stone facade with three sections, decorated portals, and a mosaic depicting scenes from Saint Francis's life.
The original structure from 1445 was destroyed by an earthquake in 1853, leading to the construction of the current neo-Gothic building.
Twelve paintings by Cesare Sermei from the 17th century adorn the walls, illustrating early Franciscan community events in Rivotorto.
Located 4.5 kilometers from Assisi, visitors can reach the sanctuary by walking from the train station or taking a bus from Line C Rivotorto.
The sanctuary preserves the sacred stone hovel where Saint Francis established the Minorite order and wrote the first Rule.
