Rocca Maggiore

An old feudal stronghold,(probably dating back to the Lombard times) stands on the crest of the hill which dominates Assisi. The encircling walls with a square tower at each corner are connected with the city walls and a significant sample of the 14th centuary military architecture. The entire structure envokes the rivalry between: pope and emperor
              Assisi and Perugia  and....

             aristocracy and common people in which the city was involved for centuries.....

Quite a long uphill to walk but if only for the macnificant view of the valley, it was worth my while.
