Statue Of Francesco And Basilica Superiore, Assisi Editorial Image

The Papal Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Order of Friars Minor—commonly known as the Franciscan Order—in Assisi, Italy. The Basilica was designed on two levels, each of which is consecrated as a church. The Upper Church has a facade of white-washed brick and a single large doorway in the Gothic style, an ornate rose window in which most of the decorative details are Romanesque in style.
