Here from the plain you can see Assisi very well, the place is virtually nestled into the hilly landscape. The side spur, on which the huge monastery complex and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre of Saint Francis (San Francesco) was built, is particularly impressive not only because of the skyward-stretching silhouette, but also the huge retaining walls that were necessary to ensure there was enough flat ground for the buildings to accomplish.

City famous throughout the world, even from below the spectacle it offers is remarkable, with particular reference to the Basilica of San Francesco and the Sacred Convent
