Urbino Walking Tour
Urbino, Italy
Why Walk Urbino
Urbino's Palazzo Ducale, built for Duke Federico da Montefeltro in the 15th century, is considered one of the finest achievements of Renaissance architecture. The town sits on two hills surrounded by rolling farmland, its skyline defined by the palace's twin towers. Raphael was born here in 1483, and his childhood home is now a museum. The entire historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
