WALKING TOUR ASSISI AND BASILICA TOUR
Assisi is surrounded by a strong aura of sacredness: the marks left by the passage of great historical figures are visible and obvious. The buildings, squares and monuments that saw the lives of St. Francesco and St. Chiara unfold can reveal fascinating and incredible stories to you, thanks also to our guide's narration. In the city, remains dating back to Roman times blend harmoniously with medieval architecture, as is the case with the facade of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. This small-group tour, lasting about 2:30h, will allow you to immerse yourself in the history of Assisi by following in the footsteps of the figures who made this city famous throughout the world.
ITINERARY
Step 1: Meeting and departure
The meeting point for the tour is in Piazza del Duomo di San Rufino
Step 2: Cathedral of San Rufino
The tour starts in the upper part of the city from the Cathedral of Saint Rufino, which, thanks to its splendid facade, is one of the greatest examples of Umbrian Romanesque churches.
Step 3: Basilica of Saint Chiara
This Gothic-style church is one of the symbols of the city and owes its construction to the citizens of Assisi who decided to dedicate a church to Chiara of Assisi, the famous saint who followed in the footsteps of St. Francesco. The white and pink color of the subasio stones characterizes the splendid facade, which, especially at sunset, reflects the sunlight creating suggestive plays of light and shadow; a striking sight that gives peace and serenity to those who observe it.
Step 4: Piazza del Comune
Descending through Assisi's medieval alleys you can admire the Piazza del Comune with the Temple of Minerva, a perfectly successful union between the city's most important Roman temple and the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.
Step 4: Basilica of Sanit Francesco
The final stop of the tour is the Basilica of Saint Francesco, a place where it is possible to admire a fusion of art, faith and history rarely equaled. The Basilica houses the remains of the saint who marked a turning point in Christian history, a change so epochal that it justifies the artistic richness of this place; from Cimabue to Giotto, both the Upper and Lower Basilicas are decorated with priceless frescoes that, thanks to the guide's narration, can be enjoyed in every small detail.
Meeting Point:
Meeting point is at 9:55am in front of San Rufino Cathedral entrance.
The duration of the tour is 2.30h.
The tour is conducted in italian.

Step 4: Basilica of Sanit Francesco
The final stop of the tour is the Basilica of Saint Francesco, a place where it is possible to admire a fusion of art, faith and history rarely equaled. The Basilica houses the remains of the saint who marked a turning point in Christian history, a change so epochal that it justifies the artistic richness of this place; from Cimabue to Giotto, both the Upper and Lower Basilicas are decorated with priceless frescoes that, thanks to the guide's narration, can be enjoyed in every small detail.
