Dettaglio offerta - Campello su Clitunno

This pilgrimage on the Via di San Francesco starts from the area of Tifernate, dominated by Città di Castello, to reach Assisi, crossing the area of Pietralunga and Gubbio that gently slopes towards the birthplace of the Saint. 

It’s a long and demanding route in some places, so the intermediate stages of Pietralunga and Valfabbrica are fundamental. In Città di Castello we recommend a visit to the Diocesan Museum, the Burri Museum and the Duomo. Do not miss the visit to the Franciscan Hermitage of Buon Riposo
