National Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi

North Beach

Built in 1849, this Gold Rush-era church is California's oldest Italian parish and the spiritual anchor of a city named for Saint Francis. Step inside the hushed main chapel, then wander into the Porziuncola Nuova, a scaled replica of Francis's beloved chapel in Assisi.
