The medieval city of Gubbio

The city of Gubbio was founded by the ancient Umbrian people and was an important religious centre, as attested to by the "Tavole Eugubine" bronze tablets dating back to the 2nd and 1st century B.C. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful medieval cities for its precious sites, such as the Palazzo dei Consoli. In recent years Gubbio has become even more famous for providing the setting of the famous Italian television series “Don Matteo” on the Rai Uno channel.



Gubbio is also renowned for its ceramics and wrought iron and is also a terrific place for heading out on various excursions: Perugia and Assisi are 40 Km away - Todi, Spoleto and the Frasassi caves are 50 Km away and the seaside areas around Fano are approximately 70 Km away.

Throughout the year the city hosts a wide array of cultural and folkloristic events.
