What to see in Assisi
All Assisi lives in the name of St. Francis, so much so that it is, even physically, enclosed between the two poles of its holiness, the basilica of San Francesco and that of Santa Chiara, his greatest follower.
The aspect that the city still preserves today is that defined by the medieval walls, with the beautiful churches, the frescoes of incalculable value, the system of alleys that make each glimpse unique and characteristic.
Walking through its streets allows you to embark on a real spiritual journey, on the trail of one of the most loved and appreciated saints for the modernity of his message of peace and simplicity; a spiritual journey that is enriched, just outside the walls, with those places that Francis chose to establish a more intimate conversation with God through the solitary contemplation of the beauty of creation. A beautiful nature is, in fact, that which frames Assisi and which corresponds to the heritage of Natural Park of Mount Subasio with olive groves, cypress trees, holm oak and oak woods up to the wide pastures of the summit.
Archaeological Assisi and city of art
The city is not only a destination for spiritual and religious tourism but has routes of great interest for lovers of history, archeology and of course art. In fact, Umbrian and Roman Assisi was a city sacred to the waters and often in its basements it preserves impressive remains of its most ancient past.
For art lovers, the city offers the opportunity to find, miraculously gathered together, the most important artists of medieval Europe and above all of Italy: from the master glassmakers from beyond the Alps,Cimabue, Giotto, Simone Martini, Lorenzetti together with all those anonymous architects, sculptors and artists who came together in Assisi to celebrate San Francesco.
