National Shrine of St. Francis of Asisi

North Beach

The National Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi began as a mission church in the 19th century and was rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake. It includes a full-size replica of the Porziuncola chapel in Assisi, Italy. This sacred space honors the patron saint of San Francisco and offers quiet reflection in the busy North Beach district.
