The Basilica of San Francesco (Assisi)

Assisi is famous for the Basilica of San Francesco which is the representative of world heritage site in Italy. Assisi is a town surrounded by mountains near a station on the way in Eurostar link from Firenze to Rome, and the neighbor town is Perugia where a famous football player, Mr.Nakata, once belonged in a team of Serie A. The Basilica of San Francesco appears on a hilltop where we go up a slope in about 10 minutes by bus from the station. Assisi is a quiet town, where there are buildings built of blick and cars and tourists come and go on the stone slopes now and then. San Francesco possessed nothing and practiced charity according to the words of the Bible in the beginning, and he established the basilica on the hill and began his activity of devoting his lifetime.
