Family Vacation - Assisi (5)

Today we visited Assisi, a very famous mountain city associated with St. Francis or called San Francesco. He was born here(1181-1226). After we parked the car at mid hill level, we had to take an escalator to street level, then passed through several arched gates into the city. The narrow street is paved with the cut stone, and 7-8 hundred years old, 2-3 floor stone buildings, which now are stores and restaurants lined on both sides. We had to walk about 2 miles from east to west, up and down streets to the Basilica of San Francesco, which was founded in 13th century. ( 8/19/2018).
