Piazza del Comune

Piazza del Comune is the historic heart of Assisi, surrounded by a beautiful mix of medieval and Roman architecture. The square is home to the Temple of Minerva, a well-preserved Roman monument now integrated into the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, and the Palazzo del Comune, the town hall since the 13th century, with its impressive clock tower. The lively atmosphere is enhanced by Via Mazzini, a charming street filled with local shops, cafes, and restaurants. Our guided tours offer an in-depth look at the rich history and captivating stories of this iconic square and its surrounding landmarks.

Stop at this ancient Roman building, the Temple of Minerva, and take in the remarkable preservation of its structure, which dates back to the 1st century BC. This iconic temple, once dedicated to the Roman goddess Minerva, has been seamlessly incorporated into the Baroque-style Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. The contrast between the ancient Roman columns and the ornate Baroque decorations creates a fascinating blend of history and art, offering visitors a unique opportunity to witness the layers of Assisi’s rich cultural and architectural heritage.
