Overview

Embark on a captivating journey, tracing San Francesco's footsteps back in time. Immerse in echoing history, transported to the Middle Ages, unraveling the legacies of two revered saints. Traverse their sacred paths, reaching the monumental basilicas of Santa Chiara and San Francesco – testaments to faith and heritage.

These walls offer solace and a glimpse of history's touchstones. Witness the original Crucifix of San Damiano, where Francis found contemplative solace.
