An impressive defensive structure marks the ancient heart of the city, which is accessed through eight fortified gates and which allows you to discover two palaces: the Rocca Maggiore, rebuilt in 1367, and the Rocca Minore. Thousands of pilgrims visit the birthplace of St. Francis every year and all discover religious buildings dedicated to other saints. Among the masterpieces of medieval art, the Basilica of St. Francis is a Unesco World Heritage Site along with all the Franciscan sites in Assisi. The city no longer bears the traces of the 1997 earthquake.
