Basilica di Santa Chiara

Basilica Assisi, Italy

The basilica of Santa Chiara is an important place of worship in the historic center of Assisi. The building is characterized by the execution of the whole body with pink and white bands of Subasio stone and by the majestic flying buttresses supporting the two sides of the church. On the nave, near the transept, the two chapels open laterally: Sant'Agnese d'Assisi and San Giorgio. They were not part of the staff of the original plan of the basilica, but were added in a later period, as happened in the upper Basilica of San Francesco.
