Places to visit: Assisi Famous worldwide as the birthplace of St. Francis, Assisi stands on the slopes of Mount Subasio, where it dominates the whole Umbra Valley. An important city dating from Roman times, as can be seen from the Temple of Minerva and the Roman Forum, it is distinguished by the Basilica dedicated to St. Francis. Work on the basilica complex began in 1228, in order to house the saint?s mortal remains and accommodate the huge number of visiting pilgrims who are still drawn to Assisi today inspired by their deep devotion to the St. Francis. Mirroring the complex of St. Francis, is the Basilica of St. Clare, dedicated to the founding member of the Order of the Clarisse. Built from horizontal layers of white and pink stone from Mount Subasio, it guards the saint?s body, and the crucifix from which Francis heard the words, ?Go and repair my house which, as you see, is all in ruins?, which gave the saint strength and confirmed his vocation. Nearby is the church of San Rufino, the Cathedral of Assisi, masterpiece of Romanesque architecture, in which Saints Francis and Clare were baptized. At the highest point of the city is Rocca Maggiore, rebuilt in the fourteenth century on the foundation of a pre-existing fortified citadel. Assisi, with its historic center, the Basilica of St. Francis and other Franciscan landmarks, is a UNESCO a World Heritage Site. Gubbio Gubbio is built on a system of terraces extending along the slopes of Mount Ingino. Important pieces of Roman architecture can be found here, such as the Theatre, dating from the first century BC and the Mausoleum. The town?s Civic Museum is also home to seven bronze tablets, engraved between the third and second centuries BC, depicting religious ceremonies and testifying to the town?s ancient origins. Life in Gubbio revolves around the medieval Piazza Grande, an overhanging terrace with a panoramic view, flanked by the fourteenth-century Palazzo dei Consoli, home to the Civic Museum, the Palazzo del Podesta dating from the same period, and the neoclassical Palazzo Ranghiasci- Brancaleoni. At the highest point of the town, we find the Palazzo del Capitolo dei Canonici, home to the Diocesan Museum, the Cathedral, started in the late twelfth century and dedicated to St. Giacomo and Mariano, and the Palazzo Ducale, now a museum, built between 1475 and 1480 on the orders of Federico da Montefeltro, according to a design by Francesco di Giorgio Martini. Belowe the town is the church of San Francesco, built in the mid-thirteenth century on the spot which marks the site on the residence of the Spadalonga, family who welcomed St. Francis after he renounced his father?s wealth.
