Palazzo Ducale di Urbino reflects Federico's dedication to using pagan imagery to decorate the medieval walls. A small study that faces away from the city and toward the duke's rural lands is the central element. The latticework, paintings, and benches here are stellar examples of Italian inlay. The shelves are filled with musical scores, books, and scientific instruments that reflect the duke's broad interests. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this Renaissance structure built into the side of a hill.

  • We had great visit to the Palazzo Ducale in Urbino. 8 euros per person, well worth the money. The visit to the palace is over two floors, there is a lift if required. The highlight for me was...

  • Certainly one of the best visits I’ve made in Italy so far. There is so much to see and learn from this palace. It’s enormous and you need to take time to visit the basement, ground floor and the first floor. I recommend this palace if you happen to be near Urbino.
  • One of the most well preserved palace of the region and neighbor. Getting inside really gives the vibe of being transported back in the past. By walking through the corridors and rooms you can see beautiful glimpses of Urbino from the windows and the gallery on 1 and 2 floor hold it's ground to the major ones. I have been particularly impressed by the basement and stables. Highly recommended.
