In the very heart of Assisi just a few metres from St.

Clares square you see an ancient 14th century stone arch to your left with a massive wooden Franciscan door of the 18th century.

Just above the arch there is a shrine dating back to 1330 portraying Our Lady and Jesus St.

Francis St.

Clare and other two Saints St.

Biagio and St.

John the Baptist by the same painter who decorated St.

Damiano cloister (another very important religious monument in Franciscan history).This is the entrance to San Crispino Historical Mansion the only historical residence in Assisi.

Biagio (15th- 16th century); Fraternity of the Saints Crispino e Crispiniano (18th- 20th century).From this ancient medieval complex you can enjoy a superb panoramic view: on your left the wonderful façade
