Sacred Sites of Assisi
Assisi’s spiritual landscape is defined by the legacy of Saint Francis and Saint Clare. This collection spans from the UNESCO-listed Basilica of Saint Francis, featuring frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue, to the humble Porziuncola housed within the massive Santa Maria degli Angeli. The list includes the Romanesque San Rufino Cathedral, the ancient Temple of Minerva repurposed as a church, and secluded sites like the Carceri Hermitage on Monte Subasio. These landmarks illustrate architectural and religious evolution from the 1st century BC through the high Middle Ages.
