Description

Rising on the slopes of Mount Subasio, Assisi is a unique place, where faith, art and history entwine around the figure of Saint Francis, who crossed the boundaries of religion, becoming a universal symbol of humility and disinterested love.

Visiting Assisi means walking along the streets of a delightful city, founded by the Romans, grown during the Middle Ages and then become a place of devotion; means to enjoy a perfectly preserved medieval settlement, where modernity is not intrusive, but simply adds comfort to the charme.

During a relaxed stroll your guide will point out the most interesting sights and places, such as Minerva temple, a Roman temple transformed into a church and the piazza del Comune, where, side by side with the ancient palazzi, you find century-old shops and historical cafés.

Saint Francis’ paternal house, nowadays part of the Chiesa Nuova (New Church), the Church of Saint Clare and, obviously, Saint Francis’ Basilica will be the highlights of the tour. Here, history and leisure give way to the awareness that the magnificent frescoes, the breath-taking architecture, the accurate restorations after 1997 earthquake, are all at the service of spirituality, in an atmosphere of sharing that is not only unaffected, but increased, by the massive presence of visitors and worshippers.

Includes a local guide and the fees to St. Francis’ Basilica!
