The fame of Assisi, which extends almost throughout the world, is greater than the city itself. Despite its Roman origins, today Assisi is mostly medieval. The eight gateways to the historic city centre are still in excellent condition, as well as two castles: Rocca Maggiore and Rocca Minore. Other places of religious and touristic attraction are related, of course, to the life of St. Francis, like the Basilica which has become an icon of the city. More than its churches and the extraordinary structures that are here, the real beauty of the city is to be found in the aura of the places that history and religion have made famous throughout the world.

Assisi is only 30 minutes away by car from Villa Zuccari. Going north, follow signs to Trevi (SP447) and after about 4Km take the SS3 Flaminia north towards Perugia. Follow the SS3 for about 11km, then take the exit marked Perugia / Foligno Nord (SS75). After about 11 Km exit at Assisi-Viole and follow Via Assisana / SS147. Another few kilometres and you will arrive at Assisi, following signs for the centre (centro). Recommended Parking: Piazza Matteotti.
