Assisi is the spiritual and religious capital of Umbria and the birthplace of Saint Francis of Assisi, who lived and preached here until his death in 1226.
The capital of Umbria is a picturesque helterskelter of piazze and palazzi. Steeped in history and, indeed, steep in parts, the alleys and pathways lend themselves to days lost wandering and wondering in equal measure.
