Architecture Tour in Gubbio
The architecture of Gubbio is a living catalog of design spanning centuries and styles. Structures like Palazzo dei Consoli tell stories that words alone cannot — the materials, the proportions, the craft behind each facade. Look closer and you'll find surprises like Eugubine Tablets — the kind of detail that only rewards those on foot.
Gubbio climbs the lower slopes of Monte Ingino in tiers of grey stone buildings connected by steep streets and stairways. The Palazzo dei Consoli, a massive 14th-century Gothic palace dominating the town from its elevated piazza, houses the Eugubine Tablets — seven bronze tablets inscribed in the ancient Umbrian language, among the most important documents of pre-Roman Italy. The Corsa dei Ceri, held each May 15th, is one of Italy's most dramatic traditional festivals.
