Assisi, the town where St.Francis, Italy's patron, and St.Clara spent part of their life, leaving ineffaceable traces of spirituality not only in Umbria, but in Italy and in the whole world, is the destination of continuous pilgrimage:

The San Francesco's Basilica, which shelters the Saint's mortal remains, the «Chapel of Porziuncola» within the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, the church of San Damiano, the church of San Rufino, the Eremo delle Carceri and the Basilica of Santa Chiara are all admirable symbols of the franciscan mysticism.
Assisi preserves also historical treasures of special historical interest, both Graeco-Roman and medieval: the Temple of Minerva in the Piazza del Comune, a marvellous example of an old Greek temple in Corinthian and Hellenistic style, the Museum of the Roman Forum, the Amphitheatre, the Monte Frumentario; but also the Palazzo del Podestà, the Torre del Popolo, the Municipal Picture Gallery and the Rocca Maggiore, scene of wars between Perugia and Assisi.
The «Calendimaggio» festival, which recalls medieval traditions linked to the beginning of Spring, is celebrated with representations, costumes and music of the time.
