Introducing Assisi

The spiritual capital of Umbria is Assisi, a town tied to its most famous son – St Francis of Assisi was born here in 1181 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.
