Art & Culture Museums in Assisi

Assisi's art and culture scene is inseparable from the life of St. Francis: the Basilica's fresco cycle by Giotto and Cimabue is one of the defining monuments of medieval European painting, and the town's small museums and churches hold works that reward slow, attentive looking. To understand how that art sits inside the streets and hills that shaped it, the Assisi Walking Tour: Medieval Art and St. Francis Basilica is a strong starting point, while the Assisi: Tour of Francis the Rebel, the Sermons, the Paintings and the Faith focuses squarely on the paintings and the ideas behind them.
