Assisi


Assisi to Florence July 28th Day 15
Our morning tour showed us the Basilica of St. Francis with its frescoes by Giotto. It's actually a double Basilica with one constructed on top of the other. The upper Basilica's construction started in 1228 and completed in 1239. The Tomb of St. Francis is located here. Next, we're off to Florence where we stayed at the- Grand Hotel Mediterraneo Hotel.
