Highlights
  • Assisi - Assisi is renowned as the birthplace of St. Francis, who established the Franciscan religious order in 1208, and St. Clare, the founder of the Poor Sisters. Saint Francis of Assisi was born in Assisi on September 26, 1182. He founded the Order named after him and is honored as a Saint by the Catholic Church. He passed away on October 3, 1226. On July 16, 1228, Pope Gregory IX canonized him as a Saint. In 1939, Pope Pius XII declared him the “Patron Saint of Italy.” Known as the “Poor Man of Assisi,” his tomb attracts thousands of devoted followers annually. Assisi, due to its famous resident, has become a symbol of peace, especially after hosting significant interfaith meetings promoted by John Paul II in 1986 and 2002, and Benedict XVI in 2011. Today, St. Francis of Assisi is one of the most beloved and venerated saints globally.
  • Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d’Assisi - The church of St. Francis of Assisi stands where the Saint chose to be buried. Admission Included. A sacred city for Christians, Assisi is a timeless destination for pilgrims wishing to visit the places where Saint Francis was born, worked, and died. In this small town, nestled on the slopes of Mount Subasio, everything seems to reference the Saint, even if only tangentially related to his life. Assisi and its surrounding area were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, recognized as a unique example of continuous history: a city-sanctuary from its Umbrian-Roman origins, through the Medieval Age, to the present day.
  • Basilica di Santa Chiara - The Basilica of St. Clare of Assisi, built with the distinctive pink stone from the Subasio mountain quarry, houses valuable frescoes dating from the 12th to the 14th century.
  • Campello sul Clitunno - Gourmet Lunch & Wine included: Nestled among beautiful olive groves and green hills, away from the busy town center, the restaurant offers elegance and hospitality, enhancing your culinary experience with unique flavors and aromas. From seasonal products to local specialties, including exclusive truffle-cured meats and the rich taste of local extra virgin olive oils, you will savor the finest interpretations of traditional regional cuisine, all paired with excellent wine. Afterward, return to your accommodation.
