3 Piazza San Rufino Assisi
Cathedral in Honor of St. Rufino, Patron of Assisi, Site of Sts. Francis and Clare's Baptism
The Cathedral of St. Rufino has undergone three phases of construction, renovated and redesigned throughout the centuries. Inside, glass panels line the floor where one can see the ruins of the old 11-th century church. St. Francis grew up in the shadow of St. Rufino who is the Patron saint of Assisi.
On both sides of the entrance there is a statue of Sts. Francis and Clare, who were baptized here. Curious travelers can also browse the Museum of the Cathedral and Crypt of San Rufino.
