The View From Assisi – Weekly Travel Photo
Situated in the heart of the rich Umbrian countryside the hilltop town of Assisi embodies the aura, charm, and personality of Italian hilltop cities. The view from the historic city is enchanting and takes in a vista that includes carefully manicured fields, Assisi’s new town, Italian villas, vineyards, and a number of historic buildings including perfectly maintained cathedrals that are several hundred years old. Despite the grandeur of the view, it is all flavored by the humble ideals and mentality of the Franciscans, who have served as the city’s dominant religious group for hundreds of years.

Nice photos! This blog post makes me want to go to the place. Actually, anything Italian I like so I guess that’s kind of a biased statement. Haha!
Thanks Mich! Italy definitely has that impact on most of us!
Such lovely views and so green! Did you take this photo in the springtime?
Hi Joy! Thanks! I believe it was in April. The greens were amazing.
