Assisi

Assisi - Basilica di San Francesco

Assisi is a quaint and tranquil Italian hill town, despite millions of tourists and pilgrims visiting the place every year.  (top left) Basilica di San Francesco was built on a hill known as Paradise Hill.  It is the burial place of St Francis, who preached the virtues of poverty and equal respect for all mankind. (bottom left) "T PAX" From what I can find out, "T" is the Christian cross and "PAX" stands for "Peace". (right) A quaint building in Assisi.  The roads on both sides of the building will eventually lead to Basilica di San Francesco.

Assisi hotel room key

Fun-Pic time - We spent a night in a hotel in Assisi.  This hotel room key was the most bulky hotel room key I have seen to date.  Obviously this hotel's owner prefers we leave the key at the front desk before we go sight-seeing.

UNESCO - Assisi's Basilica of San Francesco is in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
