Answer 3

Assisi is a little town in Umbria region, it is in the centre of Italy between Toscana region (Tyrrhenian sea) and Marche region (Adriatic sea, the sea of Venice). There's many things to visit. First the two 'basilicas'. They are built one over the other, so we call them 'basilica inferiore' and 'basilica superiore'. Here there's the S.Francis grave. The Basilicas are full of frescoes of some important painters: Giotto, Pietro Lorenzetti, Simone Martini. At the top of the territory there is 'La Rocca', the middle aged castle. Other thing are to visit, but to be not so long, an excursion (4 km) to 'l'Eremo delle Carceri' (Prisons Hermitage) you can left enchanted because of the entire site, the internal visit, the nature around it. Don't forget, on the road to go there, you can find a very tasty restaurant, regional food and wine, it's 'La Stalla', (The Stable).

Answer 5

I went to Assisi over the summer and it was absolutely breathtaking! The town is so quaint and adorable. The town square was where everything took place, at night everyone gathers there and it is like a fun party. The town itself if great, pretty hilly, but gorgeous. You have to visit the Church of Saint Francis of course and try to visit San Damiano, there are other places to visit as well. The surrounding region is gorgeous, rolling hills and sunflowers everywhere! I recommend you stay at the Fontebella Hotel, it is just a short walk from everything and the rooms are spacious and have gorgeous views, the people there are also fantastic! I hope you decide to visit, it is worth while.

Answer 6

You will find Assisi is in Italy. I would love to go as I have heard a lot about St Francis of Assisi and his  great love for little animals and birds.

Answer 7

The remains of Saint Francis are kept here by the monastic order he founded in the 13th century. The Franciscans differ from other monastic orders in that they live an absolute life of piety and utter devotion to the poor. We visited and were overwhelmed by the serene atmosphere of the crypt where St. Francis lies. As other answerers have said, it's in Umbria and Asissi is on the Italian mainline rail network.

Answer 11

Assisi is in Umbria in the province of Perugia. I've never been there but some friends of mine have and they said it is just beautiful and emotional. I'm not much of a religious but I can understand the feeling it must give the cathedral. It consists of two floors and you can find amazing frescoes there. Try to imagine the people building it at the time. And the monastery. How fascinating. Go there if you can, and enjoy it!!
