At the highest point of the city of Assisi it is possible to find the Rocca Maggiore, an example of fourteenth-century military architecture which looks imposingly and austerely over the historic center below, the narrow gorge crossed by the Tescio river and a large part of the Umbrian Valley, which extends from Perugia to Spoleto. The Piazzale delle Libertà, in front of the Rocca, is a truly suggestive location for hosting concerts with thousands of spectators.
