Gubbio is another jewel of Umbria. You must know that this town is strictly linked to a chapter of Saint Francis’s life, specifically the encounter with the wolf near Santa Maria della Vittorina church.
Just strolling down the narrow streets is really something worth the visit. Plus, in Piazza Grande, you’ll enjoy a beautiful view of the country below.
Piazza Grande together with the Palazzo dei Consoli and the Palazzo del Podestà make up one of the most majestic building projects carried out in the Middle Ages, displaying the ambitious nature of Gubbio’s political characters.
Walk a few mins to take the cableway up to the Basilica of Sant’Ubaldo, a Roman church atop Mount Ingino.
The Basilica itself may not be as beautiful as other cathedrals you’ve visited, however, if you follow the signs of the “Rocca”, you’ll get to the peak of Mount Ingino and will see a breathtaking view (see my pic below) of the hills and towns below.
