Santa Croce |
|
| If the weather is good, treat yourself to an energetic walk in the Bosco di San Francesco; the entrance is half way down the long wall on the right of the Upper Church of the Basilica. It's a steep, forested path with plenty of wild-life interest - a great display of wild orchids! After a couple of miles you will reach the church of Santa Croce, once the chapel of a Benedictine nunnery, first recorded in 1316. It now forms part of a tourist information centre. |

| The cross behind the altar is attributed to Girolamo Marinelli. (c 1630). | |

| Once here you may be feeling somewhat apprehensive about the return walk to Assisi, all up hill. Suggestion: pop in to the Osteria del Mulino nearby for a drink - or why not make it lunch? |
