Surroundings of Assisi: in the Footsteps of Saint Francis

About this activity

This unforgettable excursion will give you the chance to leave the beaten path and take an inside look at Francis' real way of life.

He took Jesus' message of simplicity and non-materialism to heart and challenged the decadence of the Roman Church.

It will be an authentic experience for those travelers who are not in a hurry and have time to listen to the silence.

Itinerary

  1. Eremo Delle Carceri

    one hour

    The Eremo is a peaceful, humble and solitary spot, nestled in the woods where Francis and his followers dwelled in caves as hermits.

    The stunning view of the green valley and the surrounding hills you

    can enjoy from the little cloister is just amazing!

  2. San Damiano

    one hour

    In this simple, silent and inspiring place Francis composed the Canticle of the Creatures, the famous Crucifix of Saint Damien asked Him to repair the Church which was falling into ruin and Saint Clare spent her spiritual life with her companions.

  3. Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli

    one hour

    The huge Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels, which was built around the tiny Porziuncola Chapel, is the place where Francis prayed with His Friars and died.

    This is also where the thorns dropped off the roses where Francis threw himself to fight a temptation.
