The Umbrian pilgrimage site of Assisi has produced two important figures: "Santa Chiara" also deserves to be honored alongside "San Francisco." She lived at the same time as Francis: Clare was born in (or around) 1193 and died in 1253. Her general feast day in the liturgical calendar is August 11, the day of her death, for all major Christian denominations; in addition, there are regional or religious order-specific feast days. Besides the church dedicated to her, there are two significant places in Assisi itself where one can follow in her footsteps: the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the center of Assisi (see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/361280 for more information), and the Monastery of San Damiano (see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/361272), located just outside the historic city walls.

Among the churches, the Cathedral of Santa Chiara (dating back to the 13th century), the churches of Madonna delle Grazie, Del Collegio, a Jesuit temple, and San Francesco, one of Sardinia's best-preserved and most important buildings in the Gothic-Catalan style, which houses an altarpiece dating back to 1560, are particularly worth seeing.

Nuraghe S'Omu 'e S'Orcu, meaning "the house of the ogre," is a Nuragic complex dating back to between 1500 and 900 BC. The imposing structure comprises a central tower, a bastion with an internal courtyard and cistern, and a rampart with five towers enclosing the Nuragic village. Traces of fire and smelting slag were found in one of the towers, evidence of metallurgical activity linked to the rich copper and tin deposits in the area.

The evocative Grotta di San Giovanni is a geological and archaeological treasure, as well as the longest vehicle-accessible cave in the world.

Ticket prices vary depending on the type of visit. You can find all the latest information on the website: https://www.grottasangiovanni.com/.

The cave is accessible from both sides, but the official entrance, where the ticket office and information point are also located, is the south one, on the opposite side.

Entrance to the cave is subject to a fee and is only possible during opening hours. More information is available on the website: https://www.grottasangiovanni.com/

Established in the early decades of the 20th century, the village still retains valuable buildings such as the church, the school, and the mine management building, as well as evidence of industrial archaeology such as the Zimmermann shaft structure and the compressor room. The village also has a grocery store, open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and on Sunday mornings from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Not far from the church, you'll also find a fountain where you can fill your water bottles.

The Sulcis Railway refers to the historic narrow-gauge railway in the Sulcis region of southwest Sardinia, which was closed down. Parts of the old line are still usable today as cycling and hiking trails.
