| The Basilica of San Francesco |
Assisi is truly a lovely town. Stay away from Assisi on the weekends due to its hordes of tourists, but other than that, you'll have a pleasant time. The Church of San Francesco has one of the most beautiful interiors in all of Europe and the lower chapel is even more lovely than the upper chapel. Not to be missed by art lovers. |

connieconcetta Fri Apr 18, 2008 10:59 UTC This is common all over Italy. The charge for sitting / is always more than if you take away or stand at the bar. It is for tourists and locals alike. You were not being ripped off! | starship Thu Feb 8, 2007 16:48 UTC Interested to know if there are any or many references to St. Francis of Assisi and his love of animals? | uglyscot Sat Jan 13, 2007 07:11 UTC I was advised to visit Assisi, but chose to go to Ostia Antica instead, but , though I had no regrets, seeing your page makes me wish I had listened. maybe Chance will come again. | icunme Sun Mar 19, 2006 10:03 UTC I can't seem to get enough of Assisi and am anxious to go back. Next time I'll get off at Spello and explore. Will return to your good pages often. Grazie, Carol |
