Urbino (Italian: [urˈbiːno]; listen (help·info)) is a walled city in the Marche region of Italy, south-west of Pesaro, a World Heritage Site notable for a remarkable historical legacy of independent Renaissance culture, especially under the patronage of Federico da Montefeltro, duke of Urbino from 1444 to 1482. The town, nestled on a high sloping hillside, retains much of its picturesque medieval aspect. It hosts the University of Urbino, founded in 1506, and is the seat of the Archbishop of Urbino. Its best-known architectural piece is the Palazzo Ducale, rebuilt by Luciano Laurana.

Writing a review about the entire Old Town feels a bit odd - but I think this is truly of the most beautiful Old Towns in Italy. The town was mostly built in the XV and XVIII centuries and is full of squares, churches, palaces, narrow back alleys, porticos, steep and winding streets and picturesque views. Palaces, churches and houses made with local bricks and the many university buildings form an amazing and compact urban area that is still not completely overwhelmed by tourists - if you take the time to walk around and explore.

We visited here and unfortunately there is renovations going on so we couldn’t go inside. But, the exterior facade was very beautiful to look at.
