Attractions

The historical center of Gubbio is of concentratedly medieval aspect: it is an austere-looking town of dark grey stone, narrow streets, and Gothic architecture.
A fair number of the houses in Gubbio date to the 14th and 15th centuries, and were originally the dwellings of wealthy merchants; they often have a second door fronting on the street, usually just a few inches from the main entrance, narrower, and a foot or so above the actual street level.
The main monuments of the city include:

• the Roman Theater, built in the 1st century BC using square blocks of local limestone.
• Roman Mausoleum.
• Palazzo dei Consoli.
• The massive Palazzo dei Consoli (first half of the 14th century), housing the museum with the Eugubine Tables.
• Palazzo and Torre Gabrielli
• Duomo (Cathedral), built in the late 12th century.
• The Palazzo Ducale, built from 1470 by Luciano Laurana or Francesco di Giorgio Martini for Federico da Montefeltro.
• The Church of S. Francesco (second half of the 13th century), the sole religious edifice in the city having a nave with two aisles.
• The Church of Santa Maria Nuova, a typical Cistercian edifice of the 13th century.
• The Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo, with a nave and four aisles, is a sanctuary outside the city.
• The Museo Cante Gabrielli in the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo (once belonged to the Gabrielli).
