The Eugubine Tables and the Roman Theatre – located right outside the walls, are two testimonies of its ancient origins. The Basilica of Sant’Ubaldo overlooks Gubbio from on high, preserving the Patron’s untouched remains.

More jewels of Gubbio are the Beni Palaces, the Ducal Palace, the Cathedral from the XII Century, the Church of Sant’Agostino from the XIII Century, the Church of San Francesco and the one of San Giovanni, from the XII Century.
