While one day in Assisi may suffice to delve into the mystical side of Christianity, with magnificent monuments such as the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, those seeking a more immersive experience trailing the journey of Christian faith from the Holy Land to Italy, will only need the Jordan: The Dawn of Christianity Exhibition. Such an exhibition will usher you into a new realm of deep understanding of the intricate story of Christianity.
To answer the question what to see in Assisi in one day, we first need to address the vibrant history and picturesque scenery of this city. In Assisi, where sacred stones and centuries of silence speak of devotion, a new journey into early Christianity begins. Inside the majestic Palazzo del Monte Frumentario, rare archaeological treasures from Jordan reveal the untold story of Christianity’s earliest roots.
From the Jordan River—land of prophets, miracles, and baptism—to the timeless beauty of Assisi, this exhibition connects two holy lands, inviting you to witness the convergence of faith, history, and spiritual heritage in a truly immersive cultural experience. This should be on your top list of things to do in Assisi.
