Tour To Assisi And Orvieto From Rome
Overview
Visit the historic center of Assisi and learn the story of its patron saint, St. Francesco of Assisi. Now 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 honours with St. Catherine of Siena as the patron saint of Italy. He is remembered by many, even non-Christians, as a lover of nature (his preaching to an audience of birds is one of the legends of his life). You will marvel at the sight of the Convent of Santa Chiara, where our guide will explain in details its history, and then continue through the countryside of Umbria in Orvieto. The city is populated since Etruscan times and was a major centre of their civilization. The Gothic cathedral is one of the major sights: the façade is particularly striking and includes some remarkable sculpture. After visiting the cities, relax on your ride back to Rome through the gorgeous Umbrian countryside.
