Introducing Assisi
The spiritual capital of Umbria is Assisi, a town more tied to its most famous son than anywhere else on earth. St Francis of Assisi was born here in 1182 and preached his message throughout Umbria until his death in 1226.

To visit Assisi now is to see it almost as Francis himself saw it. Except, of course, for the millions of pilgrims and tourists now attempting to share in the same tranquillity as you.
