The Rocca Maggiore dominated by more than eight hundred years the citadel of Assisi and the valley of Tescio, constituting the most viable fortification for their defense.
Visitors can reach the fortress on foot through the door Perlici, built in 1316: they can admire the walls in Assisi still intact which, in their long journey, engage the two fortresses, Major and Minor.
