Assisi
There are a number of other significant churches here, among them:
Santa Maria Maggiore, (St. Mary the Greater) the earliest extant church
The Cathedral of San Rufino (St. Rufinus), with a Romanesque façade with three rose windows and a 16th century interior.
Santa Chiara (St Clare) with its massive lateral buttresses, rose window, and simple Gothic interior, begun in 1257, contains the tomb of the saint and 13th century frescoes and paintings.
Santa Maria degli Angeli (St. Mary of the Angels), which houses the Porziuncola.

The town is dominated by two medieval castles. The larger, called "Rocca Maggiore", is a massive presence meant to intimidate the people of the town: it was built by Cardinal Albornoz (1367) and added to by Popes Pius II and Paul III.

Assisi Embroidery is a form of counted-thread embroidery which has been practised in Assisi since the 13th century.
