Bosco di San Francesco, Nature park near Upper Basilica, Assisi, Italy.
The forest area extends across 64 hectares of land, featuring hornbeams, oaks, woodlands, cultivated fields, streams, and olive groves.
The woodland holds an eight-century legacy as the spiritual ground where Saint Francis and his companions established the Franciscan order in medieval times.
The Third Paradise land art installation by Michelangelo Pistoletto stands within the park, representing the connection between nature and human spirituality.
Visitors can access the park through two entrances: from the Upper Basilica square or the former Santa Croce monastery, with trails spanning 3 kilometers.
The forest contains multiple ecosystems where roe deer, squirrels, and numerous bird species inhabit the restored natural environment.
