Begin the day in Assisi, famed for its association with St. Francis. The Basilica di San Francesco, constructed in 1228, is the centerpiece of the visit, showcasing exquisite frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue. Restored after the 1997 earthquake, the Basilica stands as a testament to artistic and spiritual brilliance. A short drive leads to Spello, a charming medieval hill town known for its Roman ruins and remarkable frescoes by Pinturicchio in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore. Meander through its picturesque streets and discover a blend of ancient and medieval heritage.
