The current church is the result of successive interventions carried out between the 16<sup>th<\/sup> and 20<sup>th<\/sup> centuries.<\/p>\n<p>Construction of the Basilica began in 1513 and ended a few years later, in 1527, with the addition of an adjoining cloister and convent. What was once a basilica rich in ornamental Renaissance and Baroque-style stuccos was the subject of considerable restyling in the modern era, in the early 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, sought by Father <em>Emidio Selvaggio<\/em>, the Priest and Custodian of the Basilica. The current appearance of the religious complex is due to these works.<\/p>\n<p>While imposing in its overall structure, its decorative aspects are very sombre. The entrance portal leads to a beautiful cloister, made of bricks with round arches whose lunettes were decorated with 15<sup>th<\/sup>-century frescoes attributed to <em>Pier Angelo Basili<\/em>, which unfortunately are no longer very visible. The basilica has a simple facade but with five access portals that correspond to the same number of internal aisles into which the church is divided.<\/p>\n<p>On entering the building, devotees and tourists are immediately captivated by the central altar housing the monumental neogothic shrine that contains the still perfectly-preserved remains of the saint, who died in 1160. A base, finely decorated with images of saints linked to the history of the city, supports the urn, while behind the altar, the beautiful stained glass windows created by <em>Mossmeyer<\/em> display scenes from the life of St. Ubaldo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Basilica contains several noteworthy works of art<\/strong>: the <strong>Battesimo di Cristo<\/strong> (Baptism of Christ) by <em>Felice Damiani<\/em>; the <strong>Madonna col Bambino tra i Santi Ubaldo e Giovanni Battista<\/strong> (Madonna and Child between the Saints Ubaldo and Giovanni Battista) created by <em>Salvi Savini<\/em> in 1610 and <strong>Sant\u2019Orsola<\/strong> by Allegrini, to name just a few.<\/p>\n<p>The original urn that for centuries has contained the remains of the saint remains on display on the side of the main altar, while the famous <strong>Ceri di Gubbio<\/strong> are still kept inside the building. On the 15<sup>th<\/sup> May, on the occasion of the \u2018Corsa dei Ceri\u2019, a very popular festival for the locals, the \u2018Ceri\u2019 (huge wooden pedestals each bearing a statue) are carried around the city, to the top of Mount Igino and then back inside the Basilica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The beautiful Basilica di Sant\u2019Ubaldo, patron saint of Gubbio, stands on the top of Mount Igino, in a commanding position with respect to the rest of the city, which stretches out at the foot of the hill.
