Description
True travelers are always driven by a desire to discover new places. This same curiosity inspires those who visit the birthplace of the famous Saint Francis of Assisi. It’s also the region where one of Italy’s finest wines, Sagrantino di Montefalco, is produced.
Ever-changing, untouched landscapes in the green of winding valleys make Umbria a region that will never fail to amaze. Umbria is also a region rich in art, history, culture and spirituality-characterized by an important cultural heritage.
Assisi is a town with religion very close to its heart. Visitors shouldn’t be surprised to see monks in long brown robes roaming the streets or bands of pilgrims walking the country roads surrounding the town.
Pilgrims have been coming to Assisi since the 13th century to venerate St. Francesco, who was born and buried here. But you don’t have to be religious to enjoy one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the world, which is also one of Italy’s most spell-binding gems.
