Just a full day is enough to get to know the city. Check out the main tourist attractions that you should visit during your trip.
The first point to visit in Assisi is the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, considered a World Heritage Site since 2000 and composed of the lower and upper parts. You will start your tour at the top (the entrance is through the arcade of the Franciscan friars’ convent).
Those who like works of art will be enchanted by the frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue that are present on the sides of the basilica. Not to mention the stained glass windows that allow the passage of light into the interior of the church. The ceiling has so many details that you will lose yourself in time, with your head up, admiring each element.
The Basilica of Santa Maria dos Anjos was built between 1569 and 1679 around the Porziuncula, a small church considered a sacred place for the Franciscans.
This is because it was in this small chapel that Francis of Assisi, at the age of 25, understood his vocation and renounced the comfort offered by his family to live among the poorest, thus starting the Franciscan movement.
This space always has many pilgrims and brings a great emotional charge to the devotees of San Francisco.
The Catholic Church of Santa Maria over Minerva is also called the Temple of Minerva and was built in the 1st century BC. Standing for thousands of years, the building has withstood time and several earthquakes that hit the region.
It’s a super beautiful place to take pictures (in front of the columns). The interior of the church was restored in the 17th century and decorated in the Baroque style.
Important!
If you want to enter the churches of Italy, take note of this essential tip: be careful when choosing clothes for your outing, as the church considers it disrespectful to leave parts of the body too exposed. Avoid wearing shorts and very short skirts and also don’t go with tank tops, it may be that someone responsible for the church asks you to use a chalet to cover yourself, ok?
The physical effort to go up there will be great, but believe me: it will be worth it! Rocca Maggiore is a fortress that was built in the 13th century because of the wars that took place in the region.
You will come across a castle high above the city that guarantees a privileged view of Assisi.
Assisi is a small city and full of alleys, climbs and stairs. There’s nothing better than starting to wander aimlessly there and “getting lost” along the way. It’s a good feeling, because the city is safe and you don’t have to be afraid of falling into a dangerous alley or anything like that. Just go for a walk, observing each of the buildings with their stone walls, each beautiful monument in the city, such as the Pope’s Tower and the charm of Piazza del Comune.
