Discovering Assissi


We'd both heard of Saint Francis of Assissi, but we'd never realised that the city was so magnificent.
We drove by it and thought - What is that? quickly realising that it was Assissi.
We have learnt that it is better to visit these popular towns in the evening when it's cooler, easier to park and many of the tourists have gone home.
The white sandstone buildings were well preserved, very beautiful, towering above our heads in narrow cobbled streets, hundreds of steps up various levels and many churches. It was well worth a visit.
