If you want to breath the mystical spirit of Italy, you should absolutely give yourself a rest and plan your holiday in Assisi, historical town where St. Francis was born and died. City-sanctuary that combines artistic heritage and spiritual message, Assisi is located in the heart of the green Umbria region, in central Italy.
The Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and deserves to be visit, but the whole town is an international tourist centre, with its treasures of history and art, the beauty of the scenery, the green countryside and the medieval fortress of the Rocca, which dominates the city.
