The basilica, which was begun in 1228, is built into the side of a hill and comprises two churches (known as the Upper Church and the Lower Church) and a crypt, where the remains of the saint are interred. The interior of the Upper Church is an important early example of the Gothic style in Italy. The Upper and Lower Churches are decorated with frescoes by numerous late medieval painters from the Roman and Tuscan schools, and include works by Cimabue, Giotto, Simone Martini, Pietro Lorenzetti and possibly Pietro Cavallini. The range and quality of the works give the basilica a unique importance in demonstrating the development of Italian art of this period.
Very calm and peaceful yet very beautiful and picturesque
Small chapel in Old Goa located within the campus of the Church of St. Francis of Assisi.nnIt is surrounded by hedges and a small but well-maintained garden. Casual visitors to the world heritage complex might not notice it at all.nnHowever, this Chapel has historic significance attached to it and has a separate description stone of its own. The structure itself is quite plain, both from outside and inside, unlike the architecture-heavy monuments surrounding it.nnIt only takes about ten minutes to go in and around, so don't give it a miss
Nice
