At Foxiepass, we're passionate about sharing the magic of this historic town with you. So, grab your comfy shoes and let's explore some of Assisi's most captivating spots together!

Basilica of Saint Francis: A Spiritual Masterpiece

First stop on our adventure? The awe-inspiring Basilica of Saint Francis. Trust me, this isn't your average church. As you approach, you'll feel like you've stepped into a painting – the white stone practically glows in the sunlight. Inside, prepare to have your mind blown by the intricate frescoes adorning the walls. Our expert guides will share fascinating tales about Saint Francis and the artistic geniuses behind these masterpieces. Pro tip: don't forget to visit the crypt where Saint Francis is buried. It's a truly humbling experience.

Rocca Maggiore: Where History Meets Panoramic Views

Next up, we'll hike up to Rocca Maggiore. I know, I know – it sounds like a workout. But believe me, the views are worth every step! This 14th-century fortress offers a bird's-eye view of Assisi and the surrounding Umbrian valley. It's the perfect spot for those Instagram-worthy shots. As we explore the ancient walls and towers, you'll feel like you've traveled back in time to the Middle Ages. Just imagine the stories these stones could tell!

Piazza del Comune: The Heart of Assisi

Ready for a break? Let's head to Piazza del Comune, the bustling main square of Assisi. This is where the magic happens, folks! You'll find yourself surrounded by charming cafes, quaint shops, and stunning medieval architecture. Our favorite spot? The ancient Roman temple of Minerva, now transformed into a church. Grab a gelato, sit on the steps, and watch the world go by. It's the perfect place to soak in the local atmosphere and maybe even make a new friend or two.

Eremo delle Carceri: A Peaceful Retreat

If you're in need of some zen time (and let's face it, who isn't?), we've got just the place. Tucked away in the forests of Mount Subasio, the Eremo delle Carceri is a hidden gem. This tranquil hermitage is where Saint Francis and his followers would retreat for prayer and meditation. As we walk through the serene grounds, you'll understand why they chose this spot. The silence is broken only by birdsong and the rustling of leaves. It's the perfect place to reflect and recharge.

Cathedral of San Rufino: Assisi's Architectural Wonder

Last but certainly not least, we'll visit the Cathedral of San Rufino. This Romanesque beauty is not only a feast for the eyes but also holds a special place in Assisi's history. Did you know that both Saint Francis and Saint Clare were baptized here? Our guides will regale you with stories of miracles and legends associated with this magnificent cathedral. Don't miss the opportunity to climb the bell tower – the view is simply breathtaking!
