The Historic Centre of Urbino
Id N° 828 1998 C (ii) (iv)

During its brief reign of cultural supremacy, Urbino attracted some of the most illustrious scholars and artists of the Renaissance, who designed an extraordinarily homogeneous city and extended its influence over the rest of Europe.
Urbino is at the apex of Renaissance art and architecture, so harmoniously adapted to its physical surroundings and its mediaeval past that the whole city is simply breathtaking.
