A town that needs no introduction, well worth a visit!!!

Coming from Petrignano you can admire the best view from below of Assisi. The Sacred Convent appears in all its imposing beauty!

Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli The small chapel of Santa Maria degli Angeli alla Porziuncola, still completely preserved inside the basilica, was, according to tradition, built by four soldiers returning from the Holy War in the wooded plain below Assisi, known as the Cerretto della Porziuncola. They brought a piece of the Madonna's tombstone with them. There, on certain autumn days, the strong wind that blew every cloud from the sky and through the leaves seemed similar to the song of angels. The chapel was administered by the Benedictine monks of the monastery of Santa Benedetto al Subasio since the 10th century. This place would probably have been completely forgotten if the paths of Francis and Clare had not led there. Thanks to them, we find the Porziuncola intact today, just as it was a good 1,000 years ago. But instead of the noisy thicket, there is now a large basilica, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, which envelops and protects the chapel like a caring mother. This view from within the building makes the chapel seem even smaller, almost impossibly small. The church was given to the poor saint by the aforementioned Benedictine monks to establish the headquarters of the newly founded Franciscan order. When Francis first came here, the church was in disrepair, and according to his saintly legend, he dedicated the third year after his conversion exclusively to the renovation of the small chapel. It was here, while reading the Gospel, that he realized that his mission was not to restore dilapidated religious buildings, but to rebuild and preach the entire Kingdom of God by living in poverty, penance, and simplicity. From here, Francis and his confreres set out to spread his message throughout Italy, and here they returned again and again. One night in 1211, a desperate and frightened Chiara d'Offreduccio, who had fled her home and her aristocratic family, knocked on the doors of Porciuncola.

On the left side of the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, the Medici family of Florence had a long fountain built in 1610, called the fountain of the 26 spouts, which was intended to bring relief to the pilgrims who went to Santa Maria degli Angeli on August 2nd for the Pardon of Assisi. The coats of arms of the noble Florentine family (six balls in a shield) are still visible on the fountain.

The Castle stands on a small hill, a short distance from the Chiascio River and along the borders that divided the territories of the Municipality of Assisi from those of Perugia. Built almost entirely of sandstone blocks, it still retains the clearly visible walls that mark its rectangular development, with corner towers. The entrance gate is protected by a mighty tower with turrets, on which the slots for the drawbridge's lowering are still clearly visible. The Castle was mentioned as early as 1114 in documents kept in the Archives of the Cathedral of Assisi. Due to its particular position, it was the scene of power struggles, which continued until the 15th century. In 1479, together with the Castles of Rocca Sant'Angelo, Mora and Beviglie, it was the subject of significant restoration work by the Municipality of Assisi. It can still be admired today in its original structure, only partially altered due to the partial transformation for residential use.

Another suggestive point of the Tiber cycle path that runs along the Ponti del Perugia. Here we are at Ponte Valleceppi, which probably derives its name because in ancient times it was a natural point for the collection of tree trunks (cippum in Latin), where the river accelerates its course following a (slight) inclination of the land. The Bridge overlooks everything, and the area is very well equipped

The Tiber cycle path that runs along the bridges of Perugia is rich in nature, it is pleasant to ride almost entirely along the river, and it is completely flat. Here we are in Ponte Felcino, a name that comes from the vulgarization of San Felicissimo. The stretch is particularly suggestive, silent even though it is in the middle of the city, well-organized and equipped, also with places to stop and refresh

Pleasant cycle path that allows you to avoid the road chaos.
