Gubbio’s history pre-dates the Roman Empire to when it was, as Ikuvium, a major town for the ancient Umbrians. Now a city of 30,000, Gubbio has historical attractions spanning many periods. The 14th-century Palazzo dei Consoli houses Umbria’s largest collection of Roman artifacts. Gubbio’s most important date is May 15. Every year for centuries on that day, the Corsa dei Ceri has taken place: Three teams of twenty, each carrying three large wooden statues, race through the streets.

A wide square with a wonderful view on the valley. On the other side there is the green mountain. But the best is the "Palazzo dei Consoli". The building was a example of medieval architectural with a lot of stairs and some secret passages, The Museum exhibition has a lot of paintings from 15° and 16° century. Furthermore there are seven rare tables (Tavole eugubine) written in part with an old language more ancient than latin and part with "Etruscan language" engraved one century b.C.

Need to change trains towards the end of the journey,but well worth the trouble. Assisi is a lovely medieval Hill Top city,with a great Cathedral,holding the tomb of St Francis. Everything about the City is wonderful,but very,very steep hills....if you are not a good walker...be aware! If you are,then the sheer wonder of all these winding medieval streets and shops,will pay you back for your effort!

An interesting big barrel, notable (according to the very helpful Francesco who was working in the shop alongside) for being only one of two large barrels in the world with bands made of wood, with this one being the largest and oldest. I'll take his word for that, I'm not into barrels enough to find out. The shop (manned by the aforementioned Francesco) was well stocked with reasonably priced touristy stuff (magnets, postcards and suchlike) and he also gave us a few much appreciated pointers on the best things to see in Gubbio. Thanks Francesco!
