Monte Subasio, Mountain and summit in Umbria, Italy
Monte Subasio rises 1290 meters above sea level within the Umbria-Marche Apennines, displaying characteristic pink limestone formations across its slopes.
The Benedictine Abbot of St. Benedict granted the Porziuncola church to Francis of Assisi in 1208, establishing it as the center of the Franciscan order.
The mountain's pink stones form the architectural foundation of numerous Franciscan structures throughout the UNESCO World Heritage site of Assisi.
The natural park offers multiple marked trails connecting towns like Spello and Assisi, with clear signage indicating distances and difficulty levels.
Wild orchids flourish across Monte Subasio's terrain from April to June, thriving in the absence of herbicides and specific soil conditions.
