Church in Assisi
This double-stacked basilica holds Giotto’s famous fresco cycle and the tomb of St. Francis, all completely free to visit. The lower church’s dark intimacy and the upper church’s luminous frescoes make it one of Italy’s greatest free cultural experiences.

Other places worth the walk, and what each one costs.
Assisi's main square is built over the old Roman forum and features the remarkably intact Temple of Minerva, now a church with free entry. The piazza connects the town's medieval layers and serves as the natural starting point for exploring on foot.
The medieval fortress crowning Assisi's hilltop rewards the steep climb with sweeping views across the Spoleto Valley and the Umbrian plains. Even without entering the paid interior, the approach walk through quiet lanes and the free panorama from the walls are worth the effort.
