Assisi: a journey through art, history and spirituality

Assisi, with its unmistakable profile of pink stone and medieval streets, is a city that knows how to touch the soul. Dominated by the imposing Basilicas of St Francis and St Clarecontains artistic and spiritual masterpieces of inestimable value. Every corner of Assisi tells a story: from its Roman ruins to its medieval fortifications, from its characteristic alleys to the panoramic views of the Umbrian hills.

The universal message of St Francis, patron saint of the city and symbol of peace, attracts pilgrims and visitors from all over the world. But Assisi has much more to reveal: during World War II, its convents were a safe haven for hundreds of Jews, and the Museum of Memory bears witness to this. A tale of courage and solidarity that makes the experience of those who visit this city even more profound.

Beyond the walls, the Franciscan sanctuaries immersed in the greenery of Mount Subasio invite you on a spiritual and natural journey. Walks among the olive groves of San Damianowhere St Clare lived in humility and prayer, or go to theHermitage of the Prisonswhere St Francis found refuge in the quiet of the forest. Even for those not following a religious path, Assisi offers a place of serenity and reflection, perfect for a break from the daily hustle and bustle.
