When visiting Assisi, Italy you won’t want to miss the beautiful Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels “Santa Maria degli Angeli”. This beautiful church is the home of The Portiuncola “La Porziuncola”, known as the “Little Portion” church that St. Francis of Assisi rebuilt, the birthplace of the Franciscans, and where he and his followers lived, and was also the place where he died in 1226. This place also has special meaning to St. Clare of Assisi, as this is where she made the decision to dedicate her life to Christ. There is so much here that it is just as important as the Basilicas of St. Francis, and St. Clare! Be sure not to miss this special Basilica when visiting Assisi.
