- Assisi - Assisi is renowned as the birthplace of St. Francis, who established the Franciscan religious order in 1208, and St. Clare, the founder of the Poor Sisters. Saint Francis of Assisi was born in Assisi on September 26, 1182. He founded the Order named after him and is honored as a Saint by the Catholic Church. He passed away on October 3, 1226, and was canonized as a Saint by Pope Gregory IX on July 16, 1228. In 1939, Pope Pius XII declared him the “Patron Saint of Italy.” Known as the “Poor Man of Assisi,” his tomb attracts thousands of devout followers annually. Assisi, due to its famous resident, has become a symbol of peace, especially after hosting significant interfaith meetings promoted by John Paul II in 1986 and 2002, and Benedict XVI in 2011. Today, St. Francis of Assisi is one of the most beloved and venerated saints globally. - Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d’Assisi - The church of St. Francis of Assisi stands where the Saint chose to be buried.
