Gubbio

The fortified hilltop settlement spreads across the slopes of Mount Ingino, featuring stone buildings connected by narrow cobblestone streets at 522 meters elevation.

The settlement, originally called Iguvium, emerged from ancient Umbrian civilization and became a Roman municipium before developing into an independent commune until 1384.

The Palazzo dei Consoli museum preserves the Iguvine Tablets, which contain the largest known text written in the ancient Umbrian language.

Visitors can reach Gubbio through the Fossato di Vico railway station, with regular connections to major cities in the Umbria and Marche regions.

The Roman theater, constructed in the first century BC, remains the second-largest surviving ancient Roman theater structure in the world.
