Via del Nord
This road was probably used by S. Francis to reach the sanctuary of La Verna, the place where the saint received the stigmata, in September 14, 1224. It is also part of the tourist route “Via di Francesco” (www.viadifrancesco.it). Within our path, the above one is engaged onto another way, which runs north-west, retracing the medieval road leading to the nearby town of Umbertide. Along it are the remaining castles of this route.
