Assisi...

The site of many a pilgrimage, Assisi is linked in legend with its native son, St. Francis. The gentle saint founded the Franciscan order and shares honors with St. Catherine of Siena as the patron saint of Italy. He is remembered by many, even non-Christians, as a lover of nature. Also the birthplace of St. Clare. The Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi (St. Francis) is also a World Heritage site.
