Activity itinerary

Papal Basilica and Sacred Convent of Saint Francis in Assisi (Pass by)

Pass by the Papal Basilica of Saint Francis, built soon after his 1226 death above his tomb. See where humble beginnings gave rise to one of medieval Europe's greatest artistic and pilgrimage complexes. Personal expenses for admission fees not included during the tour.

Piazza del Comune (Pass by)

Stroll into Piazza del Comune, Assisi's civic heart since Roman times, framed by the Temple of Minerva, Torre del Popolo, and Palazzo del Podestà. Personal expenses for admission fees not included during the tour.

Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Assisi (Pass by)

Pass by the Temple of Minerva, a Roman temple from Augustus's era later reused as a church, prison, and civic building. Its columned façade has survived over two thousand years. Personal expenses for admission fees not included during the tour.

Cathedral of San Rufino (Pass by)

Walk along to San Rufino Cathedral, Assisi's main church, where both Saint Francis and Saint Clare were baptized. Its Romanesque façade remains one of Umbria's finest. Personal expenses for admission fees not included during the tour.

Basilica of Saint Clare (Pass by)

Pass by the Basilica of Saint Clare, built with pale pink and white stone from Mount Subasio, simple and bare compared to Francis's grand basilica. Personal expenses for admission fees not included during the tour.

Rocca Maggiore (Pass by)

Stroll towards the Rocca Maggiore, the medieval fortress towering above Assisi, once used to defend and control the city. Sweeping views stretch over the Umbrian Valley below. Personal expenses for admission fees not included during the tour.

Chiesa Nuova di San Francesco Convertito (Pass by)

Walk along to the Chiesa Nuova, built over the childhood home of Saint Francis, marking his transformation from a wealthy merchant's son to a man of faith. Personal expenses for admission fees not included during the tour.

Roman Forum and Archaeological Museum (Pass by)

Pass by the Roman Forum, hidden beneath Piazza del Comune, revealing ancient foundations and artefacts that show Assisi's life centuries before its medieval streets took shape. Personal expenses for admission fees not included during the tour.

Via San Francesco (Pass by)

Stroll along Via San Francesco, one of Assisi's main medieval arteries, lined with historic buildings, shops, and a beloved bakery serving traditional torta al testo. Personal expenses for admission fees not included during the tour.

Monte Subasio (Pass by)

Pass by views of Monte Subasio, whose pale pink stone built much of Assisi, including the Basilica and city walls, tying the town physically to its mountain. Personal expenses for admission fees not included during the tour.
