The Basilica and surrounding buildings are an architectural and artistic wonder worthy of the Holy Saint who founded the Order of Franciscan Minors (OFM). I always wonder what Saint Francis would think if seeing the financial richness of the site in Assisi. I'm sure it helps local tourism and at least for that, I think he would be happy. And of course, Rick Steve's Europe travel documentaries are something people of all ages should watch! Be careful - you might learn something by accident 😁Thank you, Rick Steve!

Different chapels on various levels, so it is very likely you'll be able to attend Mass. Beautiful vista view overlooking the valley.

Lovely video. As I remember it when I was there, before the earthquake. I would love to know how it is now.

Hi! First of all I would like to wish a happy new year! I am an seminary student currently studying in Korea. I was in the process of creating a video on the Papal Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi for fellow catholic members in my diocese. However, because I am in Korea and unable to film any footage of it myself I was searching for other sources of it when I happened to come across your video. I thought that it was perfect for my content, which is not used in generating any profit, and was wondering if I could use some of your footage in my own video. I leave this comment waiting for your answer. I thank you for your great work and will remember you in my prayers! Hoping to hear from you soon! Best wishes!

"the hundreds of friars who once lived there..."

Just to be clear, there are still about fifty friars who live in the Sacred Convent and minister at the Basilica today.
