Activity itinerary

Casa Natale di Raffaello (Pass by)

The birthplace of Raphael, one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance. Admire the historic house facade and learn about the master's early life.

Fortezza Albornoz (Pass by)

A stunning panoramic viewpoint along Via dei Morti offering sweeping views over the Urbino valley and the surrounding Marche hills. One of the most scenic spots in the city, perfect for taking in the landscape that inspired Renaissance painters.

Fortezza Albornoz (Pass by)

The medieval Fortezza Albornoz crowns Urbino's hilltop with panoramic views across the city and the Marche countryside. The adjacent Parco della Resistenza is a peaceful green space where locals gather and visitors enjoy the best vistas over the Renaissance city.

Oratorio di San Giovanni Battista (Pass by)

A 14th-century oratory renowned for its remarkable Gothic frescoes depicting scenes from the life of St John the Baptist. Created by the Salimbeni brothers, the vivid interior murals are considered among the finest examples of late Gothic painting in the Marche region.

Palazzo Ducale di Urbino (Pass by)

A hidden architectural marvel inside the Palazzo Ducale: a spiral ramp designed by Francesco di Giorgio Martini in the 15th century. Built to allow horseback access to upper floors, the elegant helical structure is a testament to Renaissance engineering genius.

Piazza Duca Federico (Pass by)

The beating heart of Urbino, this elegant square is flanked by the imposing Palazzo Ducale and the Cathedral. Named after Duke Federico da Montefeltro, it is the perfect spot to soak in the city's Renaissance grandeur and watch local life unfold.

Palazzo Ducale di Urbino (Pass by)

The most iconic view of Urbino's Palazzo Ducale: the twin cylindrical towers (torricini) rising majestically above the rooftops. Designed by Luciano Laurana for Federico da Montefeltro, this facade is one of the defining images of Italian Renaissance architecture.

Chiesa di San Domenico (Pass by)

A striking Gothic church whose Renaissance portal is attributed to Maso di Bartolomeo and features a beautiful lunette with a glazed terracotta by Luca della Robbia. The church stands as a testament to Urbino's blend of Gothic and Renaissance artistic traditions.

Monastero di Santa Chiara (Pass by)

A former convent that played a central role in Urbino's religious and cultural life. The ex-monastery complex retains its historic cloister and architectural character, offering a quiet contrast to the grandeur of the Palazzo Ducale nearby.

Palazzo Ducale di Urbino (Pass by)

The tour concludes near the site of the Duke's historic stables and the Orto dell'Abbondanza, a tranquil garden area tucked beneath the city walls. A peaceful end to the walk through Urbino's Renaissance heritage.
