Within the old town, orange minibuses #A and #B run every 20-40 minutes, linking the lower end (near the Basilica of St. Francis) with the middle (Piazza del Comune) and the top (Piazza Matteotti).
While the amphitheater dates from the first century A.D., the buildings filling it today were built in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Enjoy the various shades of green: silver green on the valley floor (olives), emerald green (grapevines), and deep green on the hillsides (evergreen oak trees).
Although it has what is considered to be one of the best and purest Romanesque facades in all of Umbria, the big triangular top (just a decorative wall) was added in Gothic times.
In about 1181, Saint Francis was baptized here. In 1194, Saint Clare was baptized here. And also here but in 1212 she became his student.
When it’s open, you can go below to see the saint’s sarcophagus 3BC
