The very heart of Assisi is home to the spreading Piazza del Comune and this square is close to the main restaurants and sights, many of which line the Corso Mazzini. Directly north-west of the Piazza del Comune, the Via Portica and also the Via San Paolo offer a direct route to the Basilica di San Francesco.
