The city of Assisi is a perfect example of an early medieval walled city. What was most enjoyable in this city was our lodging for the night. We stayed in a franciscan monastery - which was the home of St Frances of Assisi in the 1200's. The rooms were sparse, small and not air conditioned. Each room had a window that could be opened (without screens). The pigeons were noisy and of course 
you didn't want to open your window too far, or you might be sleeping with the dirty birds! Everyone purchased olive oil here as Italian olive oil is made in Assisi. The narrow cobblestone streets, medieval flags, flower window boxes and ancient buildings made this place a memory that will stick with us forever.
