Here from the plain you can see Assisi very well, the place is virtually nestled into the hilly landscape. The lateral 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 provide sufficiently level ground for the buildings to accomplish.
