129. Discovering the History and Artistic Riches of Assisi

Our day trip to Assisi proved to be more enriching than we all thought it would be. Most people go to see the Basilica of St Francis, but this sweet little city also offers a plethora of history. The Temple of Minerva from the first century BC, along with several other significant churches, and Rocca Maggiore, a 14th castle on the highest perch of the city, are all incredible, yet we didn’t have time to delve into all of it in just one episode.Assisi appears to be almost “fake” due to it’s restoration after the earthquake of 1997, but beyond that pristine façade, there is so much history to absorb in this small mountain top city. If you are fortunate enough to go off season, I think you will enjoy it as much as we did.https://www.kimberlysitaly.com Instagram Facebook
