Marca di Camerino - Urbino
A Renaissance town and UNESCO World Heritage site, the birthplace of Raphael and a treasure trove of art, where history meets the harmony of the Marche hills. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Urbino is one of the capitals of the Italian Renaissance. In the 15th century , Duke Federico da Montefeltro transformed the city into a model of beauty and harmony, attracting artists, architects, and intellectuals from across Europe. The beating heart of this splendor is the Palazzo Ducale , an extraordinary example of Renaissance architecture, now home to the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, which houses masterpieces by Piero della Francesca, Raphael, and Titian. Strolling through Urbino's historic center means immersing yourself in an urban landscape that has remained intact over the centuries: brick alleys, churches, towers, and courtyards that speak to the grandeur of an era. Raphael Sanzio , one of the greatest painters of the Renaissance, was born here, and his birthplace is now a museum. The historic University of Urbino also contributes to the city's lively and welcoming atmosphere, enlivening its streets with students from around the world. Art and culture
