Chiesa Nuova: Saint Francis's Childhood Home & Hidden Prison
★4.9(509)
Skip the Basilica’s massive tour groups and duck into this 17th-century church built directly over St. Francis’s childhood home. Head straight to the back room to see the tiny, cramped cell where his father locked him up during their family fallout. Look through the glass floor panels to spot the original 13th-century street level beneath you. It is free, dead quiet, and way more intimate than the main cathedral. Spend 30 minutes here, then grab coffee.
