Palazzo Ducale
A microcosm of Renaissance architecture, art and history, the Palazzo Ducale houses the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, Museo Archeologico and Museo della Ceramica. The museum triptych is housed within Federico da Montefeltro’s Renaissance palace, a work of art in itself, as the duke employed some of the greatest artists and architects of the Renaissance to create what was then a modern masterpiece.
