Places to see in ( Urbino - Italy )
Urbino is a walled city in central Italy. It's known for the turreted, 15th-century Palazzo Ducale. Inside the palace, the National Gallery of the Marche features paintings by Titian and Raphael, who was born in Urbino. Raphael’s House has more paintings, including ones by the artist’s father. Next to the neoclassical cathedral is the Museo Diocesano Albani, with religious artifacts dating back to the 13th century.
Urbino is quite a small town, confined to a couple of hilltops enclosed within defensive walls, and it's not hard to get your bearings. From the gateway (Porta Valbona) by the bus stops in Borgo Mercatale, you can visit a tourist information office on your right, or just walk up Via Mazzini to Piazza della Repubblica. This is a crossroads at the centre of Urbino; other roads slope up to the town's various 'summits'. Taking Via Vittorio Veneto, on your right, will lead you to another tourist information office - where you can obtain maps and timetables - and the Ducal Palace. In the other direction Via Raffaello leads past Raphael's house and up to a great viewpoint (more below).
The Ducal Palace - Palazzo Ducale - is Urbino's principal tourist attraction. A combined ticket is available for this and Urbino's other museums; it's worth buying if you plan to tour the town thoroughly. Over-65s and under-18s, as so often in Italy, can visit the Ducal Palace free of charge.The current main entrance to the palace is surprisingly unassuming; inside the courtyard, however, the visitor begins to taste the grandeur of Federico's commission. His name appears everywhere: 'Federicus Urbini Dux' or simply 'FE DUX', on walls, fireplaces and window frames. The rooms of the palace are mostly bare, although one does retain scraps of courtly frescoes. The highly-decorative doorways and fireplaces are an indication of the splendour which the ducal court would have enjoyed. Federico's 'alcove' is one of the most interesting exhibits - a kind of ornate painted wood room within a room, which was found in pieces in the nineteenth century in underground storage. The best-preserved room of the palace is the duke's private study, a small secret space within his apartment, which is beautifully panelled in inlaid wood. Art in the gallery includes the Flagellation by Piero della Francesca, a view of an empty Renaissance 'Ideal City' by Luciano Laurana, Raphael's portrait of The Mute and works by Guercino, Guido Reni and Orazio Gentileschi. Don't miss the painting by Pedro Berruguete of the ugly Federico, reading, with his young son. The most famous painting of the duke, by Piero della Francesca, is now in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
The artist Raffaello Sanzio - better known to English speakers as Raphael - was born in Urbino, and his birthplace is now a little museum, the Casa Natale di Raffaello. Raphael's father was court painter to Federico and obviously a man of some standing. The family home is a substantial building with an attractive interior. It was purchased in the nineteenth century with the financial support of a 'nobleman from London' and has been kept fairly bare, with some minor artworks and copies of paintings by Raphael on the walls. It's a good chance to see a historic town house, probably little changed from the time when Raphael was growing up. Note that the museum is closed for several hours in the middle of the day.
Down a lane opposite the Ducal Palace, behind the church of San Domenico, is a fifteenth-century fresco of the Madonna, which can be seen through a glass wall. There are more exciting frescoes, though, in the Oratorio di San Giovanni, on Via Barocci.
Some of the finest views over Urbino are from the top of the slope opposite the Palazzo Ducale. A small public park here - the Parco della Resistenza - is a lovely place to sit with a picnic or a snack from the small cafe and admire the views over Urbino's rooftops. The park is alongside the Fortezza Albornorz, Urbino's defensive fortress, and there are entrances from Viale Buozzi, outside the walls, and from Via dei Maceri, which branches off at the top of the steep Via Raffaello.
