Gubbio

Gubbio is one of Umbria's most enchanting destinations, a city where time seems to stand still. Set gracefully on the slopes of Mount Ingino, this medieval treasure boasts an extraordinary architectural heritage that tells the story of centuries past. Founded by the ancient Umbri and later a Roman municipality, Gubbio has preserved it original medieval layout, with stone alleys, panoramic stairways and grand noble palaces that reveals its rich and noble past. Visitors are struck by the majesty of Palazzo dei Consoli, the symbol of the city, which dominates the elegant Piazza Grande, a natural terrace suspended above the surrounding landscape.

The Eugubine traditions are still alive today through important folkloric events, foremost among them the Festa dei Ceri, a celebration held every May 15th in honor of Saint Ubaldo, the city's patron saint. Visitors can explore the city's rich cultural heritage, including the Civic Museum, which houses the famous Eugubine Tablets, ancient documents in the Umbrian language. They can also take the cable car to the Basilica of Saint Ubaldo to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the valley below. Local craftmanship, particularly the metallic-luster ceramics, offers further proof of the city's cultural wealth, where the medieval past continues to engage with the present through artisan workshops, traditional restaurants, and cultural events that bring the historic center to life throughout the year.
