• Assisi - Assisi is one of Umbria’s most enchanting towns. Known as the city of Saints Francis and Clare, Assisi rises on a hill once called the “Hill of Hell” (“Colle dell’Inferno”), formerly a burial ground for condemned criminals. The name later changed to “Hill of Paradise” after the foundation stone of the Basilica of Saint Francis was laid.

It is located approximately two and a half miles (four kilometers) from the city center. Your guide will lead you into Santa Maria degli Angeli, which is more famous for another much smaller building inside - “Porziuncola.” This small, stone chapel once housed Saint Francis and his followers, and it is where he started the Franciscan order. Now, the Porziuncola is adorned with Gothic-style frescoes, glorifying the small building. Take some time to appreciate the beauty and significance of “Porziuncola.”
