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!

This is a cable car which is more like a ski chair lift. It transports you from just outside the city wall to the top of the Mount Ingino and the Basilica of St. Ubaldo, dedicated to Gubbio's patron saint. The ride is great fun and as well as the church at the summit, you'll enjoy spectacular views across the city and the plain bellow. The are also a couple of little places to get some refreshments, take in the views and enjoy the tranquillity. The gondolas are more like individual baskets although two people can travel together. Due to the small size of the gondolas, there is a feeling of exposure so this wouldn't be a great experience for anyone who has a problem with heights.

A wonderful walk up to this lovely Basilica. Nobody else was walking, they were all driving so missed half the fun!
