Papal Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and The Porziuncola
Dates:current structure -1569-1679.
It is much venerated as the place of St. Francis' death.
Inside the grand Baroque basilica are two small, humble structures: the Capella del Transito and the Porziuncola.
Standing directly under the basilica's large dome, the Porziuncola ("little portion") is the original stone chapel restored and frequently used by St. Francis. Dating from the 9th century, the long-abandoned chapel was given to Francis by the Benedictines and became the early headquarters of the new Franciscan order, founded here in 1209.
Nearby, in the little cell now known as the Cappella del Transito,located now in the right back of basilicas nave, St. Francis died October 3, 1226.
