Worth A Visit : All Assisi roads lead to the Piazza del Commune. This area of Assisi, at least for me, was like the heart of the city. Great place to congregate if you are in a group to sit and reflect and plan. For the most part, you can not avoid this when you visit Assisi

Charming Place : Suggestive. Hidden in the woods, only on foot, is one of the largest Buddhist temples in Europe. Only I do not remember the name. They also do hospitality. But it does not appear on any map, but with Googles I invite anyone to find it because I was impressed by how beautiful it was.

Well Maintained : Lovely short self guided tour with some wonderful relics at the end. Most people come to Assisi for the other Basilica but be sure not to miss this one. It is a lot more calm and relaxing to walk through with less noise and crowd.

THE BEST REVIEW

Such A Lovely Place : Such a lovely place, especially in the down season where there aren't as many tourists. We didn't stay here but visited for the day. There isn't a great deal to actually do, but plenty to see and discover. The view and serenity are worth the trip for sure. A must see for somewhere more central of Italy.
