𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝘀, who founded the Franciscan religious order in the town in 1208, and St. Clare (Chiara d'Offreducci), the founder of the Poor Sisters, which later became the Order of Poor Clares after her death. The 19th-century Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows was also born in Assisi. Now the site of many a pilgrimage, Assisi is linked in legend with its native son, St. Francis. The gentle saint founded the Franciscan order and shares honors with St. Catherine of Siena as the patron saint of Italy. He is remembered by many, even non-Christians, as a lover of nature (his preaching to an audience of birds is one of the legends of his life). Around 1000 BC a wave of immigrants settled in the upper Tiber valley as far as the Adriatic Sea, and also in the neighborhood of Assisi. These were the Umbrians, living in small fortified settlements on high ground. From 450 BC these settlements were gradually taken over by the Etruscans. The Romans took control of central Italy after the Battle of Sentinum in 295 BC. They built the flourishing municipium Asisium on a series of terraces on Monte Subasio. Roman remains can still be found in Assisi: city walls, the forum, a theatre, an amphitheatre and the Temple of Minerva. The Ostrogoths of king Totila destroyed most of the town in 545. Assisi then came under the rule of the Lombards as part of the Lombard and then Frankish Duchy of Spoleto. The thriving commune became an independent Ghibelline commune in the 11th century. Constantly struggling with the Guelph Perugia, it was during one of those battles, the battle at Ponte San Giovanni, that Francesco di Bernardone (Saint Francis of Assisi) was taken prisoner, setting in motion the events that eventually led him to live as a beggar, renounce the world and establish the Order of Friars Minor. The virtual walk starts just in the south gate of the city then tours into the narrow streets of this very beautiful city. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ♦♦♦📍 𝗠𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿 📍♦♦♦ https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mi... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 🔻 00:00 - [New Gate (Porta Nuova) - Assisi virtual walking tour starts] 0:45 - [...walking...] 4:48 - [St.Chiara square] 5:57 - [Basilica of St.Chiara] 6:55 - [...walking...] 9:55 - [Birthplace of St.Francis (now "New Church")] 11:14 - [Main square (Piazza del Comune) - that temple on the right is a former roman temple still standing, former Temple of Minerva] 13:37 - [...walking...] 15:01 - [Cathedral of St.Rufino (where St.Francis was baptized)] 17:19 - [...walking...] 27:26 - [Church of St.Mary of Roses] 29:28 - [...walking...] 42:09 - [St.James Gate] 43:23 - [...walking...] 43:37 - [Superior Basilica of St.Francis] 51:50 - [St.Francis Square] 53:35 -[...walking...] 59:47 - [Via San Francesco (main street)] 1:03:38 - [Portico del Monte Frumentario (XIII century Portico)] 1:04:31 - [...walking...] 1:12:26 - [Bonghi Square and St.Francis Gate] 1:13:19 - [...walking...] 1:14:44 - [St.Peter's Abbey] 1:21:36 - [Monastery of St.Coletta] 1:22:18 - [...walking...] 1:30:03 - [Piazza del Comune (Main Square) - former temple of Minerva and People's Tower] 1:32:20 - [La Volta Pinta (the painted ceilings) - this was painted in 1500s and the meaning is still quite mysterious...He took inspitation from roman villas and painted satyrical and normal scenes.] 1:33:24 - [Piazza del Comune] 1:34:48 - [...walking...] 1:39:34 - [Church of St.Maria Maggiore (Tour Inside)] 1:42:01 - [...walking...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #walkingtour #treadmill #virtualtour #virtual #walking #walk #drone #4k #walks #tour #italy #tours #random #Assisi #Umbria
