The medieval city of Gubbio is an enchanting place that stretches on a hill and boasts some of the most impressive architecture in the entire region, including the splendid Palazzo Ducale, Piazza Grande, the Palazzo dei Consoli complex and the second largest Roman amphitheater still existing.

The patron saint of Gubbio, Sant'Ubaldo, is a particularly important figure who every year in May is celebrated at the 'Corsa dei Ceri' a frenetic hill race among the strongest of the different districts of the country carrying huge wooden candles or candles. This ancient festival is famous throughout the country and is really worth a visit.

Assisi - the homeland of the Italian national saint - Francis of Assisi - Assisi is one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
