The Piazza del Commune is a great place to kick back, get off of your feet, enjoy a beverage & snack, and just do some people watching. If you are with a group that wants to " go their own way" for a while, this would be a wonderful place to meet back up with them. Kind of the crossroads... More

This was terrifice at all hours. There was signing in the evening revival style in the evening. There was a convention of authors and a colombian artist exhibit that i was not keen on, but added an interesting twist to the events there. This is a happening place.

This piazza is surrounded with lovely old medieval buildings, including the Temple of Minerva, which is now a church. There is a nice old fountain there too. It's worth visiting several times as quite often there are interesting things going on - one day a statue had been delivered to the Piazza and was being set up ready for a... More

The square is a great place to grab a piece of pizza and sit on the steps or fountain and people watch.. It can be quiet in the summer because of no students or events..July Umbrian Jazz festival it is packed.

Lovely lively square- all roads lead to it. Families, children, dogs making the passegiata. Boy meets girl. You could sit for hours and people watch.

Lovely architecture, fountain - and a wonderful underground museum where you can walk on the original Roman road beneath the current one.

After a good meal, time to sit out around the piazza enjoying a last cup of coffee, a beer or glass of wine. Terrific way to unwind and prepare for a relaxing night. A great place to watch people!

This is the main piazza of Assisi. It was nice, but nothing spectacular. I loved Assisi!
