A
Eremo delle Carceri
Find out why St Francis chose the caves of Eremo delle Carceri as his hermitage. The carceri (isolated places, or ‘prisons’) along the slopes of Monte Subasio are as peaceful today as in St Francis’ time. These days, many use the locale as a jumping-off point for contemplative walks or picnics under the oaks.

Foro Romano
From the basilica, take Via Santa Chiara or Corso Mazzani back to Piazza del Comune, which once was the site of a partially excavated Foro Romano. Some of the shops on the piazza open their basements to reveal Roman ruins.
