San Rufino is venerated in Assisi as the first bishop and principal patron of the city.
The existence of a "parva basilica", a small church dating back to the eighth century, allows us to document the cult of the saint in the territory of Assisi at least since the time of the Lombard invasions, when his body was transferred within the city walls from the place of martyrdom.
According to the story of the Passio Sancti Rufini -which is reported by various codices, the oldest of which is a Passionary of the Cathedral of Perugia dating back to the eleventh century- Rufinus and his son, the priest Cesidio, would be originally from the city of Amasia. From Pontus, after having converted even the proconsul Andrew, they would have left for our peninsula to continue their work of evangelization and would have arrived in Thrasacco, a town in Marsyas, in which Cesidio remained and would later find martyrdom.
Bishop Rufinus moved instead to Assisi, where he was captured by the proconsul Aspasio, who interrogated him, had him beaten with the plumbs, had his mouth beaten and had him thrown into a fiery furnace, but the saint was freed from the fire by an angel.
The emperor himself then commanded that Aspasio throw Rufinus into the deep water with a stone around his neck: the saint died on August 11, 238 in the river Chiascio, near the village of Costano. In this place where once there was also a church dedicated to him already mentioned in an archival document of 1038.
Since 1997 the feast of San Rufino in Assisi and within the diocese has been postponed from 11 to 12 August, to avoid overlapping with the celebrations in honor of Santa Chiara.
The oldest depictions of San Rufino show the patron saint of Assisi with mantle, miter and pastoral, to emphasize his role as the first bishop of the city. Starting from the period of the Counter-Reformation, however, the iconographic attributes of the saint become clearer and more immediate and Rufinus is represented with the millstone of his martyrdom.

The Museum of the Cathedral of San Rufino was inaugurated in 1941 but the first project for its establishment dates back to sixteen years earlier, when Canon Sigismondo Spagnoli proposed to the Chapter to arrange the archive and to establish an art collection in which to bring together some works and sacred furnishings from the Cathedral church and from the oratories of the city brotherhoods.
This first museum – strongly desired also by the bishop of the time, Monsignor Giuseppe Placido Nicolini – occupied some rooms adjacent to the church and, as well as the adjoining Historical Archive, for a long time was accessible to the public and scholars only on request.
It was not until 1995 that the collection was finally opened to the public constantly in the months from April to October, while it was only in 2003 that the possibility of accessing the museum became annual.
After the demanding recovery and restoration of the basement of the Palazzo dei Canonici and the cloister of the eleventh century, the Diocesan Museum reopened to visitors on April 15, 2006, with a new layout and a new location.
The current museum is not a simple extension of the old one: it was built not only to enhance the material preserved in the previous structure, but also to accommodate new works from donations, host the heritage at risk scattered throughout the territory of the Diocese and set up temporary exhibitions.

For the climb to the bell tower today it is accessed from a door in Piazza San Rufino (near the chapel in memory of the birthplace of Santa Chiara) or from a small door in Via del Turrione. After the ticket office, going up to the first level, you can see one of the so-called "attics of San Rufino" above the vaults built on a project by Alessi in the sixteenth century, with the left rose window of the church seen from the inside, while on the second level is located the clock mechanism with a spear of the tower.

The first news about the Rocca Maggiore dates back to 1174, when it was rebuilt following the conquest of Assisi by the imperial troops led by Christian of Mainz (1174); but perhaps it already existed in the Lombard era. It is therefore probable that – on the remains of a pre-existing fortification – the fortress was rebuilt by the Swabians, as a feudal castle: it is also said that Frederick of Swabia – the future emperor Frederick II – stayed there in his youth, a guest of Corrado Lutzen.
The fortress stands out on the hill overlooking Assisi: above its walls stands the Maschio, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view of the city and the Umbrian Valley, from Perugia to Spoleto. Since ancient times, the place where the fortress stands was considered sacred and essential to the defense of the town.
In 1198 the castle was destroyed following a popular revolt to prevent it from falling into the hands of a papal governor: not wrongly, the people of Assisi saw in it a symbol of imperial oppression.
The fortress was rebuilt in 1365 by Cardinal Egidio Albornoz (then engaged in the submission of the main cities of the peninsula) as a sighting point: a typical example of medieval military architecture came out. Since then, the fortress was the protagonist of every attempt at conquest in alternating with the government of the city of the various lords and its defensive role increased over time with changes in the structure and with the construction of towers and bastions.
After Albornoz, the fortress was enlarged and modified by Biordo Michelotti (1395-98), Piccinino (1458), Pius II (1460), Sixtus IV (1478), Paul III (1535) and assumed a truly imposing appearance. It is tradition that the top of the hill was occupied by an acropolis since ancient times, but that it was devastated in 545 by the Gothic king Totila.
In the '600, the fortress was completely abandoned to remain almost intact until our century.
The fortress wanted by Albornoz was enlarged several times with the addition of bastions, but was devastated by the population following the unification of Italy (1859).

Today it is open to more and more visitors; from its towers offers a panorama among the widest and most evocative of all Umbria: Assisi gathered at its feet, the splendid Umbrian Valley. The evocative halls host thematic reconstructions inspired by medieval life.
