The Basilica of St. Francis in 3D
The Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi represents the turning point, in Italian art, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.The church rises up today in the place where the Saint had chosen to be buried. The actual aspect is the result of various interventions.
The building is composed of two churches, one above the other. The upper church is of Gothic aspect,luminous and slender; the lower one, however, which one enters passing through a Gothic portal of the 13th century, is low and austere.
In Second Life Assisi you can discover the history of the church and its paintings.
You'll visit the magnificent double Basilica of San Francesco, with lively worldwide known sequences of frescoes by Giotto, Cimabue, Pietro Lorenzetti and Simone Martini.
Visitors to Second Life Assisi can perceive the intensity of the Franciscan spirituality and that of the other great saints who have blessed this land.
