The Franciscan sanctuary of La Verna, located a few kilometers from Chiusi della Verna, in the province of Arezzo and diocese of Arezzo-Cortona-Sansepolcro, within the national park of the Casentinesi Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna, is famous for being the place in which St. Francis of Assisi would have received the stigmata on 14 September 1224. Built in the southern part of Mount Penna at 1128 meters high, the sanctuary - destination of numerous pilgrims - houses numerous chapels and places of prayer and meditation, as well as several points of considerable religious importance.
In August 1921, Pope Benedict XV raised the church to the rank of a minor basilica.
