Oratory of San Francesco Piccolino

Local nameOratorio di San Francesco piccolino
LocationAssisi, Italy

The Oratory of San Francesco Piccolino, or the Chapel of Little St Francis is a small devotional chapel in the centre of Assisi, near the Chiesa Nuova held by pious tradition to be the birthplace of Francis of Assisi. Many have falsely considered it to be the saints childhood home.

It was constructed in the late 13th century thanks to the initiative of Piccardo, nephew of the saint. Previously adorned with frescoes dating from the 13th to the 15th century, in 1926 it was restored to its original bare appearance.
