    Hiking

    The church of San Damiano in Assisi is a place of great religious importance. It is said that Saint Francis of Assisi, in 1205, received a vision of Christ asking him to "repair his house which is falling into ruin". This event inspired the Saint, who composed the Canticle of the Creatures here. The church, guardian of a particular crucifix, also became the place where Santa Chiara founded a cloistered order. History tells of numerous miracles associated with this church, including the multiplication of bread and healings.
