St. Francis of Assisi is buried in the lower church of the Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi, Italy. The church was built to serve as the permanent burial place for the saint, and his remains were transferred there in 1230, four years after his death. The church’s crypt houses his simple stone sarcophagus and is a major destination for pilgrims.
