Cattedrale di San Rufino

Fodor's Review:

Saint Francis and Saint Clare were among those baptized in Assisi's Cattedrale, which was the principal church in town until the 12th century. The baptismal font has since been redecorated, but it is possible to see the crypt of Saint Rufino, the bishop who brought Christianity to Assisi and was martyred on August 11, 238 (or 236 by some accounts). Admission to the crypt includes the small Museo Capitolare, with its detached frescoes and artifacts.

  • Cost: Crypt and Museo Capitolare EUR 2.50
  • Open: Cattedrale: daily 7-noon and 2-6; crypt and Museo Capitolare: mid-Mar.-mid-Oct., daily 10-1 and 3-6; mid-Oct.-mid-Mar., daily 10-12:30 and 2:30-5:30
