Activity itinerary

Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d'Assisi

1h
Admission ticket included

The Basilica of St. Francis is a sacred place par excellence and destination of Christian pilgrimage, visited by millions of tourists every year. Since 1230 it has preserved and guarded the mortal remains of the Saint, according to tradition it was Francis himself who chose the place of his burial, it is the place where the "lawless" were usually buried, condemned by justice. Francis was proclaimed a Saint at only two years of his death on July 16, 1228, and the next day, they laid the foundation stone for the construction of his imposing Basilica, a complex of immense artistic value, both for its architecture and for its precious frescoes and interior decoration. The Upper Basilica has a Gothic, bright and slender appearance, and the Lower Basilica is lower and more austere. The beating heart of the Basilicas would be the Crypt with the Tomb of St. Francis. Other places to visit are: the Basilica of Santa Chiara and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli.

Basilica di Santa Chiara

1h
Admission ticket included

The Church of Santa Chiara is undoubtedly the second most visited building in Assisi after the Basilica of San Francesco, inside the Basilica is the body of Santa Chiara. Today we see two miracles of Saint Clare, the first done to her sister Agnes and the second, the miracle of bread, done to all the sisters of the community in San Damiano. The Basilica built with the typical white and pink stone of Mount Subasio rises on a large square, from which you can enjoy the view of the valley and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli. Chiara Scifi (16 July 1194 – 11 August 1253) was an Italian religious, collaborator of Francis of Assisi and founder of the order of Poor Clares: she was canonised as Saint Clare in 1255 by Alexander IV in the cathedral of Anagni.

Assisi

Assisi, the city where Saint Francis, patron saint of Italy, and Saint Clare lived and died. The oldest evidence of human presence in the territory of Assisi dates back to the Neolithic. Still protected by an imposing wall, the city perfectly preserves the characteristics of the typical Umbrian village. Dominating it are its wonders, the great Basilica of San Francesco and the bulk of the Rocca Maggiore. City of Umbria, city, as homeland of St. Francis. Deeply ascetic, he was also known as "the poor man of Assisi" for his choice to devote himself to all material goods and to lead a minimal life, in total harmony of spirit.

Duomo di Orvieto

1h
Admission ticket included

Continuing the tour to the city of Orvieto, you will enjoy a beautiful journey between the green hills of the countryside and the well-cultivated land, surrounded by vineyards of the Umbria region. Entering Orvieto you will be struck by the natural beauty of this scenic city, everything is wonderful, a town with its narrow streets full of small shops, with several galleries under the city, corridors, wells and ancient cellars dug into the tuff rock over the centuries, which has made it even more interesting, mysterious, beautiful and unique. In particular, the imposing Gothic cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, one of the most majestic religious buildings of all Italian medieval art, with three centuries of almost uninterrupted works, worked there over 20 artists, divided into various areas, including statues and mosaics, which tell of our past life. Construction started in 1290 and the last restoration and remaking works were at the end of the 16th century.

Centro Storico Orvieto

Orvieto was a city of great lustre in the various historical epochs passed, with the Etruscan civilisation knew a period of great splendour and importance, so much so that it became the hub and the most populated and important centre of the vast territory of Etruria. The heart of the city of Orvieto is Piazza del Duomo, a valuable area overlooked by ancient palaces and stands the imposing structure of the Duomo , whose wonderful facade shines with polychrome marble and mosaics, monopolizing attention for the purity of its lines.
