Historic Centre (Unesco)

Historic Centre (Unesco) is a jewel of Renaissance architecture and culture in Italy's Marche region.

The majestic Ducal Palace, the former residence of the Montefeltro family, is stunning in its beauty and houses the National Gallery of the Marche with priceless works of art, including Piero della Francesca's 'Flagellation'.

Urbino is also the birthplace of Raphael Sanzio, one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance. Strolling along the cobblestone streets, visitors can admire the cathedral, convents and oratory, while the historic walls offer spectacular views of the surrounding hills.
