Assisi Diary - Day 8 - More About Town

Saw friends off to Rome today and spent much of the day taking care of odds and ends.  Went to the fruit and vegetable market and picked up lettuce, a tomato, two apples and a banana for under 2 euro.  Later went for a stroll and took a few pictures.  Here's the remains of a fresco on a building which, in part, dates back to Roman times.  For a while it was a church, but is no longer.

Next is the fountain in the Piazza del Comune, with local bird in flight.

Here's the front of San Stefano, a church built in 1166, less than 20 years before Francis was born.  It was built by the working classes, and the facade appears pretty much the same today as it did back then.

 Here is some pretty stonework on the outside of the apse of San Stefano.

Here's a remaining segment of another fresco on a main street through town.

And some trees behind a wall.

Ciao.
