On the Via di Francesco from Florence to Rome...
... a rest day in Assisi.
Birthplace of Francesco di Assisi and at the same time the place where he was laid to rest; 2026 marks 800 years after his passing.

Epicenter of religion, history. I could admire perfection in craftsmanship, art full of devotion...

After arriving in Assisi, I first look for my accommodation. It's a little out of the way, a 15-minute walk away, a country house with a lovely ambiance as a reward - unfortunately, I didn't bring a swimsuit for the pool.

After the usual shower, however, I set off again to explore the city.
