Gubbio (PG)- Masterpiece of a Medieval City - Cathedral of Saints Mariano and Giacomo - Umbria
A truly spectacular village, a masterpiece of a medieval city, rich in historical and artistic testimonies and ancient traditions found intact in its folklore and products.
Gubbio is the oldest city in Umbria, as evidenced by the Roman Theater's remains and the Eugubine Tables in the Civic Museum.
Walking through the historic center, you will come across many craft shops where you can buy products related to processing ceramics, leather, iron, and gold.
It is also impossible not to be attracted by the irresistible aromas of typical local products, such as the prized white truffle that accompanies pasta, salami, and cheese.
A curiosity of Gubbio that includes in the Guinness Book of Records is the Christmas tree, undoubtedly the largest in the world.
The tree uses the entire façade of Monte Ingino, the mountain that dominates Gubbio, where 450 colored lights are placed, powered by kilometers of electrical cables. A life-size nativity scene is created at the base to match the tree's grandeur.
In conclusion, Gubbio stands out as an essential stop for anyone wishing to immerse themselves in the authentic atmosphere of the Umbrian Middle Ages, amidst majestic architecture and timeless traditions. However, to further enrich this journey of discovery through the territory, we highly recommend traveling a short distance to nearby Gualdo Tadino, a treasure trove of history dominated by the splendid Rocca Flea and renowned worldwide for its centuries-old tradition of artistic ceramics.
