ASSISI, ITALYAssisi is a religious and tourist centre in the Apennines that is known throughout the world as the home of Saint Francis of Assisi, who was born there in 1182 and died there in 1226. Above the saint's tomb are two Gothic churches, both consecrated in 1253, which are decorated with frescoes by Cimabue, Giotto, Martini, and others, depicting the saint's life. An excellent library housed in a Franciscan convent, the Cathedral of San Rufino (begun in 1140), the Church of Santa Chiara (1257-65), and a 14th century castle can also be found in the city. The city has been known since Roman times. |
