What to expect
Embark on a guided walking tour of Assisi, one of Italy's most renowned hill towns, steeped in history, art, and local traditions. Your journey begins at the ruins of an ancient Roman amphitheatre, which was repurposed during the Middle Ages as a stone quarry for constructing local dwellings. Witness how this site evolved into a private neighbourhood, offering a stunning view of the Rocca Maggiore medieval castle.
Venture through narrow alleyways and across medieval squares to reach landmarks such as the Cathedral of Saint Rufino, the Basilica of Saint Claire, and Piazza del Comune, the city's main square. Here, you'll encounter the Minerva temple, one of Italy's best-preserved Roman temples, encircled by imposing medieval government buildings.
The tour culminates at the Basilica San Francesco di Assisi, celebrated for its 13th and 14th-century frescoes crafted by Italian masters of the era, including Giotto. This immersive exploration of Assisi offers a blend of cultural heritage and architectural splendour that will leave you captivated.
