Itinerary
1
Piazza del Comune
The Roman temple of Minerva was the main building in the forum square. In front of it, another temple dedicated to Castor and Pollux and a court-altar completed the complex. Later the medieval palaces of Priori and Popolo were added. In the Torre del Popolo, medieval measures that guaranteed respect for local laws stand out.
2
Cattedrale di San Rufino
The most enigmatic facade from medieval times on top of the remains of a Roman sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Cupra or Bona Mater. Remains of a Roman road that connected with the Forum Square that we will visit next
3
Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d'Assisi
Finally we will arrive at the medieval essence of the city of Assisi. The remains of the great Saint Francis rest here and Italian visual culture was born here. More than 10,000 square meters of mural paintings. The most prestigious artists of the late 13th and early 14th centuries gathered in this imposing building that tells us about the daily life of those years: the fashion, the appearance of the houses and palaces, even the language of the hands. and gestures of the figures that express sadness, anger, despair and also gratitude, wisdom, protection. A true book of the human condition. Please note: Sundays and holidays explanation of the Basilica from outside and free entry

Chiesa di Santa Margherita
We will pass through the streets of the upper part of Assisi where the female monasteries of the city were concentrated and we will reach the viewpoint in front of the small church of Santa Margarita from where we can see the Basilica of San Francesco and in the distance the city of Perugia. The view is lost in the green of the landscape where the olive trees and cypresses are lost in the forests that surround Assisi
5
Palazzo Monte Frumentario
Pilgrims hotel, public farmer of the city and now exhibition center.
6
Piazza del Comune
