While you are being educated on the history of the medieval town, your tour guide will lead you through the town's narrow, winding streets. The paintings by Giotto representing the life of Saint Francis of Assisi may be found inside the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi, where visitors can also learn more about the significance of this pilgrimage site.

Experience the beauty of the interior of the Basilica of Santa Chiara, which was built in honor of a disciple of San Francesco. After that, you will have some free time to look around this magical city. After that, you will continue your journey by going to the Santa Maria degli Angeli Church, which is the location where the Franciscan Order had its start. Returning to Tuscany, make your way to the town of Cortona. It was built by the Etruscans and is famous for its beautiful architecture and expansive views of the area. Many people recognize Cortona as where the film "Under the Tuscan Sun" was shot, so be sure not to miss such an experience!
