umbria italy

Assisi shows a typical medieval urban structure of the city which in great part follows that of the Roman settlement with important finds such as the pronaos (colonnade) of the Temple of Minerva; the green of the woods of Mount Subasio and of the surrounding countryside which encroach upon its ancient walls; its happy position on a hillside from which a glance embraces the entire Umbrian valley. To this can be added the variety and comfort of its hospitality structures and the art of hospitality developed in its population over more than seven centuries of real cordiality in welcoming pilgrims and tourists.
