Urbino PU, Italia

Urbino is a walled Renaissance hill town in the Marche region of central Italy, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its extraordinary urban fabric that has remained largely unchanged since the 15th century. The city flourished under Duke Federico da Montefeltro, whose Palazzo Ducale dominates the skyline and houses the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, holding masterworks by Raphael — a native son — Piero della Francesca, and others.
