Assisi, Medieval commune in Umbria, Italy
The town extends across the western slopes of Monte Subasio at 424 meters elevation, featuring narrow stone streets and ancient defensive walls.
The settlement evolved from an Umbrian and Etruscan center into the Roman municipality of Asisium before gaining independence as a commune in the 12th century.
The Basilica of San Francesco contains two separate churches with extensive fresco collections by Giotto and Cimabue depicting religious narratives.
The railway station connects to major cities, while local buses transport visitors between the lower town and upper historical center throughout the day.
The Temple of Minerva from the 1st century BCE maintains its original facade with six Corinthian columns integrated into a later Christian church.
