ASSISI<\/span><\/h2>\n

The city of Assisi<\/strong> is very relevant thanks to its history and art, moreover it is the birth place of San Francesco and Santa Chiara<\/strong>, two of the most important saints of the christian religion, to whom the homonym Basilica churches are dedicated.<\/p>\n

In addition to religious architecture, civil architecture is relevant too, for example the Rocca Maggiore<\/strong><\/em>, a fortress placed on the top part of the old town, and the roman archaelogical remains<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Outside the city centre of Assisi, going towards the Monte Subasio<\/strong>, it is possible to visit the Eremo delle Carceri<\/strong><\/em>, an hermitage which was used by San Francesco, and to do a walking along the mountain paths.<\/p>\n

Close to Assisi, it is advised to perform a visit to the charming medieval village of Spello<\/strong>,\u00a0 which hosts a famous Infiorata<\/em> flower festival during the religious celebration of the Corpus Domini, generally in May or June.<\/p>\n
