My favorite exploration in Assisi. This ancient castle was a gem of my travels in Umbria. Inside, one feels part of Microsoft's Age of Empires... be sure to squeeze though the long, dark, archer's passage, and peek through the archer holes at the rolling hills beyond. And be sure to climb up the highest point of the castle for a commanding view of Assisi and Umbria. Unforgettable. 2000 lire for students, 3000 lire others.
As you approach the Castle, to the right is a small carpark. Do not dismiss it as nothing, instead follow the road downhill and you will walk by a cliff. Step across the iron grills (you won't fall down!) to enjoy a captivating view of Umbria... complete with quaint palaces with well kept gardens, rows and rows of olive bushes, etc! And also, a look at the back of the castle, something that you won't get to see from any other angle.
