The Church of San Francesco is a Gothic church in the lower town of Gubbio, built by 1256 where, by tradition, the Spadalunga family sheltered and clothed Saint Francis. It has an octagonal 14th-century bell tower, and inside a cycle of frescoes of the life of the Virgin painted by Ottaviano Nelli around 1410–1415.

The Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo stands on Monte Ingino above Gubbio and keeps the body of Saint Ubaldo, the town's 12th-century bishop and patron, in a glass case above the high altar. Built with its convent in the early 16th century, it is the finish of the Corsa dei Ceri race every 15 May and is reached on foot or by the cable car from the town.
