Assisi, Italy

The beautiful town of Assisi

(Disclaimer - another short post mostly for sharing pictures)

At the end of April I was incredibly lucky to have family come and visit me in Italy! We spent time together in Rome and also traveled outside of the city. Our first trip was a short overnight stay in the small town of Assisi. It is another one of those charming hillside towns that seems too picturesque to be real. All of the buildings are built with a uniform brick stone and there were beautiful flowers everywhere.

We had a relaxed day in the town, spending our time wandering through the streets, climbing up to the city’s old fortress, and exploring the monastery dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi.

It is a beautiful town and the views we had when we climbed up to the fortress were incredible. The town can certainly be seen in a day, but it's definitely worth a visit!
