Religious Heritage

Gubbio’s religious landscape is defined by its deep connection to Saint Francis and its patron, Saint Ubaldo. This collection features the 12th-century Cathedral with its striking pointed arches and the Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo, which overlooks the city from Mount Ingino and houses the saint's incorrupt body. The trail includes sites marking the legendary taming of the wolf, such as San Francesco della Pace, and the 13th-century Chiesa di San Francesco, built on the grounds of the family who sheltered Francis after his departure from Assisi.
