- Experience an intact piece of Umbrian landscape, a place of harmony and silence, at the foot of the Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi
- Take your soul on an inner journey and see what inspired Michelangelo Pistoletto to create a work of land art
- Climb to the top and witness the "Third Paradise", designed to help us realise the importance of the relationship between man and nature
Experience 800 years of history in the famous woods where the patron saint of Italy meditated and prayed.
As you climb to the top of the 14th-century tower, the Bosco di San Francesco unfolds. Feast your eyes on Michelangelo Pistoletto's "Third Paradise" – a masterpiece of 121 olive trees, arranged in double rows to form three large concentric circles – that symbolises the union between heaven and earth.
Back on the ground, take the artist's invitation and walk the winding road among the rows, becoming part of the work as you go. It's a real call for reflection on the possible peaceful coexistence between man and nature.
There are two entry options:
- Show your smartphone ticket at either entrance
- From the square of the Upper Basilica of San Francesco: access is via a door in the perimeter wall of the square
- From the valley floor at the Benedictine complex of Santa Croce
- Parking is available at via San Vittorino at the Benedictine complex of Santa Croce
- Bus parking is at the beginning of Via San Vittorino
There is an equipped picnic area.
