Why go

Rivotorto focuses attention on the hovel linked to Francis and his first companions, now enclosed within a much larger sanctuary. Seeing that contrast is the reason to travel south of the historic centre. Combine it with San Damiano if you want to follow early Franciscan places beyond the town walls.

What to look for

The sanctuary encloses the humble hovel associated with Francis and his earliest companions, south of Assisi.
