Departing from Rome in the morning, embark on a captivating journey to Assisi, where a private guide will unveil the wonders of this enchanting town.
Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis, has been a revered pilgrimage site since the 13th century. This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts historically significant buildings, including the awe-inspiring Basilica di San Francesco. The Basilica houses an exquisite collection of frescoes and paintings that rival those of any museum.
Next, travel to the marvelous medieval town of Orvieto. After a delightful lunch, explore the historic town center with its charming narrow streets, beautiful churches, and the stunning Duomo adorned with intricate mosaics and stained glass.
Don't miss St. Patrick’s Well, an engineering marvel 125 feet deep and 45 feet wide, featuring 496 steps. This hilltop fortification served as a refuge for the pope in the 16th century. During sieges, the well, with its ingenious twin spiral staircases, ensured a continuous water supply, allowing the pope to remain safely ensconced.
