Gubbio
One of Italy's best-preserved medieval cities and the setting for the famous wolf episode at San Francisco, a crucial stop on the Via di Francesco pilgrimage route.
Discover Gubbio
Gubbio, a spectacular medieval town built on the slope of Monte Ingino, is one of the most emblematic and fascinating stages of the Via di Francesco. Its austere stone architecture and vertiginous urban layout transport the pilgrim to the Middle Ages. Gubbio is deeply connected to the life of Saint Francis through the famous episode of the wolf, in which the saint tamed the ferocious beast that terrorized the city, a symbol of peace and reconciliation. The church of Saint Francis, built on the site where the saint was received, is a must-visit. The heart of the town is the monumental Piazza Grande, a hanging square that hosts the imposing Palazzo dei Consoli. For the walker, the experience is not complete without taking the "funivia" (a kind of cage-teleférico) up to the Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo, patron of the city, from where breathtaking views are obtained. Gubbio is a demanding but unforgettable stop, an immersion in Umbria's most authentic and Franciscan spirit.
