What to see in Assisi

Assisi is a small Italian city with a powerful spiritual and historical heritage, located on the slope of Mount Subasio. Its narrow cobbled streets, ancient walls and peaceful atmosphere attract pilgrims and tourists from all over the world. Here lives the memory of the Middle Ages and St. Francis, whose simplicity and humanism determined the appearance of the city and made it unique.

Manufactures and facilities

Among the man-made attractions, the main one is the Basilica of St. Francis, created in honor of the patron saint of the city and storing valuable frescoes and relics. Nearby stands the cathedral and a network of ancient temples, monasteries and museums that tell about the religious and cultural history of Assisi. Medieval architecture, cozy squares and monuments form a collection of places that are definitely worth seeing when thinking about what to see in the city.

Natural attractions and places

Nature around Assisi is not inferior to man-made: Mount Subasio and its slopes give picturesque panoramas bordered by olive groves and green hills of Umbria. Hiking trails, quiet meadows and observation platforms invite you to walks and photo shoots against the backdrop of sunsets. In the vicinity you can find quiet corners for solitude and observation of nature, which makes the city attractive for those who like active rest in the fresh air.
