Gubbio is one of the oldest cities in Umbria, wonderfully preserved over the centuries and rich in monuments that testify to its glorious past.
Architecturally, it represents the masterpiece of medieval civilization and the 12th-13th century society, structured within the guilds of arts and crafts. Evidence of its origins can be found in the Eugubine Tables and the Roman theater located just outside the city walls. The Palazzo dei Priori with its museum and the Church of San Francesco are worth a visit, as is the Sanctuary of Sant’Ubaldo, where the Ceri, symbols of the Umbria region, are kept.
The famous Festa dei Ceri takes place every May 15th and involves the entire city along with thousands of tourists who flock to it. It is considered one of the oldest folkloric events in Italy and is now known worldwide.
