Overview

Why come to Assisi?
Because Assisi is pure spirituality. Saint Francis and Saint Clare made it famous 800 years ago and in modern times Blessed Carlo Acutis chose it as the “eternal home” for their mortal remains.
Because Assisi is a box of surprises for those who love Art. The beauty of its monuments is complemented by the tranquility that is breathed in its streets.
Assisi is a town immersed in the green of its olive trees and the harmony of its landscape.
For its Spirituality, Art, Beauty and Nature you will not be able to stop coming to Assisi.

Our guide will find you next to the Basilica information office located in the Lower Basilica square. Please note that Sundays and holidays explanation of the Basilica from outside and free entry. The visit will begin by visiting the tomb of San Francisco. His mortal remains have rested here for 800 years. In the Lower Basilica the painted decorations speak of the Franciscan virtues, of the example of Francis in his life as the man Christ. In the Upper Basilica we will focus on the life of the Saint and his relationship with the time in which he lived and with the personalities he met such as Popes and nobles, also with the simple people who surrounded him. More than 5000 square metres of frescoes painted by Giotto, Cimabue, Simone Martini and Pietro Lorenzetti.

Place where thousands of pilgrims arrive who want to venerate the remains of the young Carlo Acutis, guide of young Christians who wish to combine their religious values with the use of new technologies.
Piazza del Comune

The Municipal Plaza presents buildings from even more than 2000 years ago. The Roman temple known today as Santa Maria sopra Minerva is located next to the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo. At the base of its bell tower a tombstone shows the length measurements valid in the city in medieval times. Opposite is the city's Town Hall, which is still the seat of local government. It is the appropriate place to have a glass of wine, eat a plate of pasta with truffle, enjoy an ice cream or get lost in the numerous souvenir and typical product shops.
