One of the delights of Umbria lies in thenumber of unspoilt medieval hill towns and Gubbio is right up there with thebest of them. What makes it particularly attractive is the backdrop of theforest clad Appenine Mountains behind. At the heart of the town is the immense14th century Palazzo dei Consoli, with the lesser but no less impressivePalazzo Pretorio opposite. There is plenty more to occupy you, including amuseum and art gallery, several notable churches and the remains of a Romantheatre.
