Assisi is a small city in the Umbria region, in Italy. It is the town where St. Francis of Assisi was born, founder in 1208 of the Franciscan Order or "Franciscans", and St. Clare of Assisi, founder of the Order of the Poor Sisters of St. Clare or "Clarisas". Assisi, the Basilica of St. Francis and other Franciscan sites, were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000.
It is currently a great pilgrimage center. Assisi is linked to the legend of his most famous son, St. Francis. The saint founded the Franciscan Order and shares honors with Saint Catherine as the patron saint of Italy. He is remembered by many, even non-christians, as a lover of nature, being one of the legends of his life his preaching to birds. St Francis of Assisi renounced all his material wealth to dedicate his life to help, accompany and guide all living beings, especially animals, whom he considered his younger brothers.
Asís es una pequeña ciudad en la región de Umbría, en Italia. Es la población donde nacieron San Francisco de Asís, fundador en 1208 de la orden Franciscana o "franciscanos", y santa Clara de Asís, fundadora de la Orden de las hermanas pobres de Santa Clara o "clarisas". Asís, la Basílica de San Francisco y otros sitios franciscanos, fueron declarados Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en el año 2000. Actualmente es un gran centro de peregrinación. Asís está unida a la leyenda de su hijo más conocido, San Francisco. El santo fundó la orden franciscana y comparte honores con santa Catalina como santo patrón de Italia. Se le recuerda por muchos, incluso los no cristianos, como amante de la naturaleza, siendo una de las leyendas de su vida sus predicaciones a los pájaros. San Francisco de Asís renunció a todas sus riquezas materiales para dedicar su vida a ayudar, acompañar y a guiar a todos los seres vivos, en especial, a los animales, a quienes consideraba sus hermanos menores.

Feels like walking back in olden times. Place even looks bit mysterious at night.
It is a very interesting place, full of tranquility and religiosity. A little mystical at night, but that made it more beautiful. Thanks for your comment.
you're welcome
