The church of Santa Maria della Vittoria (Vittorina) was built in the 8th century AD following a local victory over the Saracens. St. Francis, who was present in Gubbio between 1206 and 1207, received this place in 1213 from Bishop Vilano and the Benedictine monks to establish a permanent residence for the brothers. Cycles of frescoes on every level testify to the simple and sincere faith of many people who have stopped here to pray over the centuries. There is also a statue here commemorating Francis' encounter with the Wolf of Gubbio in 1220.
