The design of the Basilica is inspired by the Gothic and Romanesque styles of the 13th century. Inside the basilica, visitors will find two chapels, decorated with frescoes of the Crucifixion and the iconic Umbrian mural paintings. These frescoes were completed by several local artists in the 16th century. Additionally, there are many beautiful works of art and sculptures, such as a 14th-century relief of St. Francis.
