The Oratory of San Francesco Piccolino is a small, intimate place of worship located in the historic center of Assisi, a short distance from the Chiesa Nuova. Tradition identifies this space as the birthplace of Saint Francis, within the paternal home of the Bernardone family. The oratory retains a simple and sober atmosphere, reminiscent of the domestic setting of medieval Assisi, and is enriched by devotional frescoes painted in later periods. Despite its small size, the Oratory of San Francesco Piccolino has a strong symbolic value, as it represents the most intimate and original point in the saint's human and spiritual journey.

The New Church of Assisi stands on the site traditionally identified as the birthplace of Saint Francis, which belonged to the family of Pietro di Bernardone. The current building was constructed in 1615, by order of the Franciscan community and with the support of King Philip III of Spain, incorporating the medieval structures of the original residence. Inside the church, beneath the high altar, the domestic space considered to be the birthplace of Saint Francis is preserved, transformed into an oratory and place of devotion. The New Church therefore represents a site of great historical and spiritual value, as it directly links the figure of the saint to his family origins and to the daily life of medieval Assisi.

Assisi With its world-famous city walls, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Assisi promises visitors a wealth of culture and history. Shopping and long walks in the old town are also part of Assisi's itinerary. Near Perugia, the capital of Umbria, lies Assisi. The birthplace and place of work of St. Francis and St. Clare, it is a city worth visiting, and not only because of its famous children. Assisi's medieval city center and city walls are so well preserved that they were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. The city walls and the Basilica of San Francesco are therefore popular attractions for travelers. Founded by the Romans under the name Asisium, the terraced layout of the oldest Roman part of the city can still be seen today. The forum, an amphitheater, and the temples of the goddess Minerva (goddess of wisdom) are almost completely preserved. Text / Source: italien.de GmbH https://www.italien.de/staedte/assisi

The baroque basilica is located on the town hall square.

Towering over Assisi is the mighty "Rocca Maggiore", the "great castle", once a symbol of imperial power over the (quite self-confident) city (and correspondingly unpopular with the citizens).
