Assisi, the ancient Umbrian village in the province of Perugia, is one of Italy's most important artistic, cultural and religious destinations. The town is famous for being the birthplace of St. Francis, patron saint of Italy, and St. Clare, whose religious deeds have contributed to Assisi's fame as an open-air sanctuary, a pilgrimage destination for every devout Christian.

"Assisi is a great thing, a town, a city and a sanctuary" wrote the poet Giosuè Carducci to emphasise the richness of the town, which lies not only in its religious history but also in the historical, artistic and cultural heritage scattered in every corner. Let's discover together which are the main monuments to see in Assisi.
