Stunning Assisi. A UNESCO World Heritage site, in the Umbria region Italy, is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the world. I was here last week and the weather was still glorious. I’d suggest heading here late afternoon and wander around to take in the charm of Assisi. Watch the sunset then head to a restaurant in the evening. Save this one if you’re in the region. 💚❤️🇮🇹 📍See below for must see sights 🎥 Video by: @mygreatescapes Top things to see in Assisi 1. Basilica of San Francesco d’Assisi 2. Rocca Maggiore 3.

Taking the slow road to the magnificent Assisi, in the Umbrian region Italy. One of the best-preserved medieval places in the world. If you’re planning a trip to Umbria make sure you include Assisi. There’s so much history here and the views are spectacular across the countryside. Watch the sunset near San Rufino Cathedral, Santa Ciara church and San Francis Basilica then head to a restaurant in the evening. Save this one if you’re in the region.

Interesting to visit, be prepared to walk or climb stairs (there is a difibrilator i. The entrance). We disi not payed the ticket, outside is already interesting. Rocca Maggiore in Assisi, Italy, is a medieval fortress built in the 12th century atop Mount Subasio. It served as a strategic stronghold for various rulers and underwent multiple expansions and renovations over the centuries. During the 14th century, it was expanded by Cardinal Albornoz, and later played a role in the struggles between the Papal States and various Italian city-states. Today, it stands as a prominent historical landmark offering panoramic views of Assisi and the surrounding countryside. Franciscode Assis when young was a soldier to fight against Peruggian, but was held prisioner and then realized he had another way to change the world:...

This is an old fort from the 12th century. This is a cool place and has been kept up. But it's not for handicap or young kids. You have to be conscious about what you're doing. It's like being on a hike. The steps are not code. They're stone and smoothed off from all the foot traffic over 800 years. But the wonders on how they did things back then. And walking thru little tunnels and windy staircases. Looking thru keyholes. Going to the top of the tower. Go to the cellar. Just crazy cool exploration stuff. Just really neat. They also have a snack bar after you're done exploring. No parking up here. Park at Parcheggio Matteotti paid parking lot and hike up there. Go right up Via Rocca Maggiore. 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your condition. Once you up here. You're on top of everything....

Die Rocca Maggiore ist eine imposante mittelalterliche Festung, die über der Stadt Assisi thront und einen atemberaubenden Blick über das umliegende Tal und die Stadt bietet. Sie ist eines der markantesten Wahrzeichen von Assisi und hat eine lange Geschichte, die bis ins Mittelalter zurückreicht.Die Rocca Maggiore wurde im Jahr 1174 errichtet, wahrscheinlich auf Anordnung von Christian von Mainz, dem Statthalter von Kaiser Friedrich I. Barbarossa, um die Stadt und die Region zu kontrollieren. Ihre Lage auf einem Hügel oberhalb der Stadt bot strategische Vorteile, da man von hier aus einen hervorragenden Blick auf das Tal von Spoleto hatte, was die Verteidigung erleichterte.

Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte wurde die Festung mehrfach zerstört und wieder aufgebaut. Im 14. Jahrhundert ließ Kardinal Egidio Albornoz die Rocca restaurieren und ausbauen, um die päpstliche Kontrolle über die Stadt zu sichern. Später wurden weitere Ergänzungen, wie der hohe Turm, vorgenommen. Sie diente lange als Verteidigungsanlage und Symbol der Macht. Die Festung besteht aus einer Hauptburg und mehreren Wehrtürmen, die durch dicke Mauern miteinander verbunden sind. Der beeindruckendste Teil der Rocca ist der hohe Hauptturm, von dem aus man einen weiten Panoramablick auf Assisi und die umliegenden Berge und Täler genießen kann. Die dicken Mauern und die massiven Wehrtürme zeugen von der militärischen Bedeutung der Anlage.

Es gibt auch einen langen Wehrgang, der die Hauptburg mit einem isolierten, weiter entfernten Turm verbindet. Dieser Gang diente früher der schnellen Kommunikation und Mobilität innerhalb der Festung und ist heute für Besucher zugänglich. Heute ist die Rocca Maggiore eine Touristenattraktion und ein beliebter Ort für Spaziergänge und historische Erkundungen. Besucher können die Festung besichtigen und in ihre mittelalterliche Vergangenheit eintauchen. Sie bietet außerdem atemberaubende Ausblicke auf Assisi und das umliegende Tal, insbesondere bei Sonnenuntergang.

Die Rocca Maggiore ist ein Symbol der historischen Macht und des Erbes von Assisi und ein eindrucksvoller Zeuge der mittelalterlichen Architektur und Kriegsführung in Italien.
