Assisi
Italy Europe · Umbria
The hill town of Francis and Clare, with the Porziuncola in the plain below and the hermitage of the Carceri above.
Sacred Cities
Guides to the cities where Catholic memory is most concentrated: churches, shrines, relics, saints, walking rhythms, and practical notes for the pilgrim.
About these guides
Each city guide gathers the churches, shrines, relics, saints, walking rhythms, nearby extensions, and practical notes that belong to one place. Each is written for the pilgrim who has half a day, a full day, or several days to spend, and who wants to encounter the saints and places of that city on their own terms.
More to come
More city guides are coming, including Santiago de Compostela, Jerusalem, Lisieux, Guadalupe, Nevers, Lisbon, Coimbra, Chartres, and others.
Plan Your Pilgrimage
Begin with a saint who draws you, or save the places you want to encounter into a journey of your own.
