Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli
Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, Minor basilica in Santa Maria degli Angeli, Italy
The seventh-largest Christian church features a prominent dome completed in 1667 and houses the ancient Porziuncola chapel within its walls.
Construction of the basilica started in March 1569, following designs by architects Galeazzo Alessi and Vignola, with completion occurring in 1679.
The Porziuncola chapel represents the location where Saint Francis established the Franciscan Order and committed to a life of poverty.
The basilica contains multiple chapels for prayer, a museum displaying religious artifacts, and provides guided tours of its architectural features.
The Rose Garden adjacent to the basilica contains a specific variety of dog roses connected to Saint Francis's moments of spiritual reflection.
