Interior view

The Upper Church, with its single nave and tall Gothic windows, has a bright and festive atmosphere. The cross-ribbed vaults, the window and the nave wall were decorated with frescoes over the period of several decades. The unified program created a kind of pictorial bible. Giotto and his colleagues depicted Francis's life in an unique fresco cycle in the Upper Church.

The photo shows the view of the nave from the east.
