Introducing Urbino

Show mapClose map

Urbino is most people’s first stop on a trip to Le Marche, and it’s not hard to understand why. The patriarch of the Montefeltro family, Duca Federico da Montefeltro, created the hippest art scene in the 15th century. The famed art patron gathered together all the great artists, architects and scholars of his day to create a sort of Renaissance think-tank. The university here still dominates any social scene. The town’s splendour was made official by Unesco, which deemed the entire city centre a World Heritage Site.
