Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli

Built between 1569 and 1679 enclosing the 9th century little church, the Porziuncola, the most sacred place for the Franciscans.
It was here that the young Francis of Assisi understood his vocation and renounced the world to live in poverty among the poor and thus started the Franciscan movement.
