Photos > A Day in Assisi

In the countryside about halfway between Florence and Rome is the town of Assisi, famous for Saint Francis, who started the Franciscan order of monks. The town is built on a hillside, with narrow streets that lead up to a medieval castle on the top of the hill (now in ruins). The biggest attractions are the town's historic churches, mainly Saint Francis' Basilica.
