DESCRIPTION
Assisi was the birthplace of St. Francis, who founded the Franciscan religious order in the town in 1208, and St. Clare , the founder of the Poor Sisters, which later became the Order of Poor Clares after her death. Assisi is the spiritual capital of Umbria, a town more tied to its most famous son than anywhere else on earth. Assisi represents a unique example of continuity of a city-sanctuary within its environmental setting from its Umbrian-Roman and medieval origins to the present. It is an unmissable religious destination.
