Small 12th-century basilica where St. Francis received his call — simple stone façade, intimate cloister, medieval fresco fragments and a tranquil garden with olive trees. Best photographed at soft morning or late-afternoon light when shadows sculpt the stone. Easily reached on foot from central Assisi; limited roadside parking nearby. Modest entry; respect worshippers and often no-flash rules inside. Quiet, contemplative atmosphere lends well to detail and environmental portraits.
