Assisi — Basilica di San Francesco & Centro Storico
Umbria
Assisi's old town climbs the slope of Monte Subasio in narrow stone lanes, crowned by the double Basilica di San Francesco — its interior frescoed by Giotto and Cimabue, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The streets and piazzas outside are an easy, level-in-places walk with wide views over the Umbrian plain, distinct from the Eremo delle Carceri hermitage higher up the mountain, covered elsewhere in this guide.
