refer directly to the Franciscan archetype: St Francis' Church in Assisi, whose
first construction phase, before the nave was made longer and a tower added,
dates from the years 1228-1235.62 A number of first-generation Franciscan
churches, mostly in Italy, adopted the plan and elevation of the church of St
Francis of Assisi without, however, reproducing its other specific feature, namely
the superposition of the two levels.63 The best example of this immediate recep-
tion is the church of St Clare in Assisi.
To this day, the first church of the Franciscans in Maastricht is the only known
case of reception of Assisi north of the Alps. But it is also one of the few Fran-
ciscan churches that has been excavated. About sixty years after its construc-
tion, the original Assisi-type church was replaced by a new church referring to
Cologne's Minoritenkirche. This complete shift of architectural reference sug-
