Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo, Minor basilica on Mount Ingino, Gubbio, Italy.

The Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo stands at the top of a broad stone stairway on Mount Ingino, outside Gubbio. Its long, low facade of pale pinkish-grey stone blocks is divided by pilasters and pierced by two rows of small rectangular windows; a projecting block on the left holds an arched portal. Inside, five naves are dominated by the 1884 neo-Gothic high altar, above which the body of Saint Ubaldo rests in a glass case.

Begun in 1513 on the site of an earlier small church dedicated to Sant'Ubaldo and the pieve of San Gervasio e Protasio, the basilica was funded by the duchesses of Urbino, Elisabetta and Eleonora Gonzaga, and by Pope Julius II. It was entrusted to the Canons Regular of the Lateran, the order to which the saint had belonged. In 1786 the Passionists took over, followed by the Reformed Friars Minor; the Lateran Canons returned on 6 January 2020 after 234 years.

The ceri are tall wooden stands, wax in earlier times and since the 16th century made of wood, kept in the basilica through the year. On the first Sunday of May they are moved to the Palazzo dei Consoli, and on 15 May three teams of ceraioli carry them through Gubbio and up Mount Ingino to the church.

The basilica stands at the top of Mount Ingino above Gubbio. It can be reached on foot along a long, winding trail from the city, or by a chair lift that climbs the mountain. The building sits at the head of a broad stone staircase, with a paved area and grass in front.

The basilica keeps the cloth canopy that Emperor Frederick II of Swabia had made in 1240 for displaying the saint's relic. It was commissioned from craftsmen in Palermo and woven with typically Arab warps. Two earlier reliquary urns, one from the 13th century and one from the 18th, are also displayed in the church.
