Assisi
This was by far the best place which we liked in Italy. Very peaceful and calm.
It is the birthplace of St. Francis Assisi, who founded the Franciscan religious order in the town in 1208, and St. Clare (Chiara d'Offreducci), the founder of the Poor Clares. Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows of the 19th century was also born in Assisi.

The Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi (St Francis), the mother church of the Franciscan Order, is a World Heritage Site in Assisi, Italy.
Its a 13 th century church.
The tomb of St Francis Assisi is here in this church.
On September 26, 1997 Assisi was struck by an earthquake. The Basilica was badly damaged (part of the vault collapsed, killing four people inside the church), and was closed for two years for restoration.
