Assisi
Assisi is a medieval hill town, known for being the birthplace of Saint Francis, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town represents 'a series of masterpieces of man's creative spirit,' and everything revolves around its most renowned citizen, St. Francis, Patron Saint of Italy, from the Basilica, which is dedicated to the Saint and contains his tomb, to the hermitage (Eremo delle Carceri), located a few miles outside the town walls, where St. Francis used to retreat in prayer.
Visit and explore the Basilica of Saint Francis (UNESCO World Heritage Site from the 13th century), the Church of Santa Chiara (houses the San Damiano Crucifix which spoke to Francis in 1206), San Rufino Cathedral (12th century Romanesque facade), Rocca Maggiore Castle, a Roman Amphitheater from the first century surrounded by medieval houses, and so much more.
