Itinerar

  1. Porta San Francesco

    10 min

    Begin your walking tour at this historic gateway, one of the principal medieval entrances to Assisi. Though its origins date back centuries, Porta San Francesco remains remarkably well preserved and offers an evocative introduction to the city’s rich past. Positioned just below the Basilica, it provides an excellent vantage point for photographs and a fitting starting point before ascending into the heart of Assisi.

  2. Basilica di San Francesco d'Assisi

    30 min

    Continue to the Basilica of Saint Francis, a masterpiece of medieval architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. This sacred complex, where Saint Francis is both commemorated and entombed, comprises two distinct churches: the Upper Basilica, renowned for its luminous frescoes attributed to Giotto and his school, and the Lower Basilica, noted for its more intimate and solemn atmosphere. Together, they represent an extraordinary fusion of Romanesque solidity and Gothic elegance.

  3. Chiesa di San Pietro

    15 min

    A short walk leads you to the Church of Saint Peter, dating back to the 10th century. Its Romanesque façade is distinguished by three portals, with the central entrance flanked by finely carved lion sculptures. Inside, the church reveals a harmonious blend of Romanesque and early Gothic elements, offering a peaceful and contemplative space away from the busier landmarks.

  4. Via San Francesco

    Trecere fără oprire

    As you make your way toward the town center, stroll along Via San Francesco, a charming street lined with traditional stone houses, artisan shops, and small cafés. This lively thoroughfare provides a glimpse into everyday life in Assisi while preserving its medieval character.

  5. Piazza del Comune

    15 min

    Arrive at the vibrant civic heart of Assisi, Piazza del Comune. This historic square has been the center of public life since Roman times and is framed by elegant medieval buildings. At its center stands the 16th-century Fountain of the Three Lions, while the surrounding area features a variety of shops and cafés. The square is also intersected by Corso Mazzini, the main artery connecting key landmarks across the town.

  6. Oprirea 6

    10 min

    Overlooking the piazza, the Temple of Minerva is one of the most remarkably preserved Roman structures in Italy, dating back to the 1st century BC. Originally dedicated to the goddess Minerva, it was later converted into a Christian church. Its imposing Corinthian columns and classical proportions have impressed visitors for centuries, including the renowned German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe during his Italian journey in 1786.

  7. Oprirea 7

    15 min

    Proceed to the Cathedral of San Rufino, dedicated to the patron saint of Assisi and its first bishop. This Romanesque cathedral is celebrated for its striking façade adorned with intricate carvings and symbolic motifs. Beneath the main altar lies a Roman sarcophagus believed to contain the remains of Saint Rufino, who played a pivotal role in the Christianization of Assisi. The cathedral also holds significance as the site where both Saint Francis and Saint Clare were baptized.

  8. Basilica di Santa Chiara

    15 min

    Continue to the Basilica of Saint Clare, an elegant Gothic structure built in the 13th century and dedicated to one of Saint Francis’s closest followers. Constructed using pink and white stone, the basilica houses the remains of Saint Clare in its crypt. The site also incorporates elements of the earlier Church of San Giorgio, further enriching its historical and spiritual significance.

  9. Piazza Santa Chiara

    10 min

    Before concluding your tour, take a moment in Piazza Santa Chiara, a peaceful square in front of the basilica. From here, you can enjoy beautiful open views of the Umbrian countryside—an ideal spot for reflection and photography.

  10. Oprirea 10

    10 min

    Conclude your walking tour at Porta Nuova, one of the eight historic gates of Assisi, located on the southeastern edge of the town. Built in the 16th century, this gate marks the transition from the medieval city to the surrounding landscape, providing a fitting and tranquil end to your exploration of Assisi’s cultural and spiritual heritage.
