Day 01
Walking Tour of Assisi's Roman and Medieval Landmarks
- Meet your guide at 10:30 am and visit the old Roman ruins of the local amphitheater, which was reused in the Middle Ages as a quarry for stones to build local houses. The view of the Rocca Maggiore medieval castle from here is brilliant.
- Walk through narrow alleys and medieval squares to reach Saint Rufino's Cathedral and Saint Claire's Basilica.
- Visit the main city square, Piazza del Comune. Here, you will see one of the best-preserved Roman temples in Italy - Minerva's Temple - surrounded by imposing medieval government buildings.
- Continue to the Basilica of Saint Francis, which is world-famous for its 13th-14th century frescoes by the best painters of Italy at that time. Among them, the most famous is Giotto.
That will conclude your tour.
