Tour in Assisi
From its position of 424 metres above sea level Assisi dominates
the plain of the Topino and Chiascio.
Thanks to its religious atmosphere owed to the mystical memory
of Saint Francis and its magnificent monuments it is visited by
tourists and pilgrims from all parts of the world. The buildings
and the winding, narrow city streets are made from the red and
white stone from Monte Subasio onto which the terraces that form
the foundations of the city rest.
The devotion to the flowers that decorate the windows, balconies
and city streets make a walk through this ancient centre even more
pleasurable. From every angle you cannot help but notice the Sacred
mountain that overlooks the city.
We must remind you to visit the world-famous Basilica of Saint
Francis, where you can see the frescoes that represent the life
of the Saint painted by Giotto, the Duomo and annexed Museo Capitolare,
the Temple of Minerva, the Basilica of Saint Clare, Rocca Maggiore
and Saint Damian's.
