Pictures of Assisi, Italy

Assisi is one of the must-see medieval hill towns in the central Italy region of Umbria (see Umbria map on Europe Travel). Assisi is famous as the home town of Saint Francis, or San Francesco, the patron saint of Italy. The Saint Francis Basilica in Assisi holds the tomb of Saint Francis and is a popular tourist and pilgrimage destination. Assisi also has several other interesting churches, Roman ruins, medieval sites, museums, and shops.
