Wow. What a stunning place. Cannot recommend it enough. Gorgeous fortress. Beautiful churches throughout. Picturesque with incredible views. And a delicious little gelato place. Wow. We didn’t go inside the fortress - we just wandered around and took in the beauty. Highly recommend the trip.

Long time wanted to visit Urbino and finally managed today. Despite heavy rainfall I felt in love with this unique and immensely charming place. Palazzo Ducale and National Museum of Marche are stunning. I wrote some comments and complains of bareness in most of rooms. But masterpieces on display are more than enough to compensate. Highly recommended.

The Castle of the Dukes of Urbino is enveloped in an atmosphere of mysticism and grandeur, as if it had emerged from the pages of a centuries-old legend. Its grandiose walls welcome guests with exquisite beauty, as if inviting them to explore the secrets of the past. Once inside, you are immersed in majestic halls adorned with exquisite works of art, each whispering its unique story. The majestic halls and incomparable gardens create a unique atmosphere, as if immersing you in a fairy tale world. A visit to the Castle of the Dukes of Urbino is not just an excursion, it is an encounter with grandeur and beauty that will leave unforgettable impressions for a lifetime.

Interesting spaces, visited on the first Sunday of the month when entrance is free

Drove from Ravenna through hills and beautiful road. Structure located over the hills with having a good overview on the area around. Paid parking is provided in the front and back, which back is bigger and more organized. Facility presenting an art belonged to Renaissance. It is big museum with many paintings, curved stones, carpets, statues and dishes in different stories. Not only a palace, but also a protected city on the hills with narrow alleys with so many steps. At least consider 2 to 4 hours to see the palace and the city. If you rely on English communication, Good luck!

2€ for youth is a nice Price for a Lot of variety

Majestic structure, impressive from outside. It's worth a visit, there is an interesting collection of paintings and ceramics inside. More impressive from outside than inside but definitively worth 2 hours visit, while strolling around the beautiful Urbino.

Great middleages and reinassence art collection and beautiful palace

Excellent collection of art and furniture in the Palazzo Ducale di Urbino that houses the National Museum of the Marche. As noted before Federico Montefeltro gathered together a collection of art that rivaled those in Florence and Siena. Well preserved pieces in this huge palazzo and I'm sorry I can't find the picture of the Duchess's prayer room, but it was spectacular. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Umbria or northen Marche.

Lovely renaissance art collection, set in the historic ducal palace with splendid views of the surrounding countryside. Visited during a quiet period and spent about 90 minutes to walk around the exhibition.

A beautiful city full of history

Some decent exhibits in a fabulous building but there is inadequate signage so that whilst exhibition rooms are theoretically numbered there is no indication which room is which. Hence it's possible to waste a lot of time trying to find exhibits of interest. There are people sat in chairs in each room who appear to be there to provide information but our experience was that in the main they knew even less than we did. Won't be returning.

It's a great collection of art! Must to see and enjoy

Very interesting and beautiful place! A lot old art of works. Palace impressed, because of its beauty and design. Very polite stuff.

Beautiful church with interesting things that you can light up

Beautiful, quiet, clean, peaceful, elegant- and does bring appreciation for God Nd the Labour to make this beautiful building.

A majestic and elegant church in a beautiful small town.

Surprisingly bright inside and in contrast with the surrounding brick building outside.

A baroque Church with neo baroque elements

Another franchise of the Holy See.

Good old church with a nice simple interior.

Wonderful terrace overlooking the piazza of the Duomo. We initially came for drinks but ended up having a small lunch. We shared a crescia sfogliata (was ok) and a pasta with wild boar, and the kitchen kindly served our pasta on two plates. This friendly gesture, along with the overall friendliness, made up for the long wait.

Cool classical restaurant.Looks like time, has stopped here in this place. We had nice hot crusty crescia. Effective, responsive staff. The tiramisu was a bit dry. Not far from the University, so many students having lunch. Three large independent areas in the restaurant. The large room between tables and other customers makes it comfortable to have lunch. Privacy is guaranteed. Urbino is a nice typical old city. A open museum.

Unassuming restaurant, has a cozy ambience to it. Love love love the Casciotta di Urbino. Please order it but make sure to share as it is quite filling for 2 pax. The maialetto cotto is amazing as well, literally melts in your mouth. A little disappointed in the cognilio as I find it a little tough. But overall it’s really good food and I really enjoyed it!

Quite overrated especially in Tripadvisor. It is good but not special. I was alone. Took a first course, a main course, a dessert and water for 40 euros.

We had lunch here twice while touring Urbino. Excellent food. Professional service. Great atmosphere. Thank you!

Good restaurant with several local traditional dishes

Interesting vintage interior. Very tasty and interesting dishes.

This was the best restaurant I went to during my 4 weeks in Urbino. I actually ended up going twice because of how much I enjoyed it the first time.

I gave the food a 2 because my portion of venison seemed less than 100 grams (2 tiny pieces) it was overcooked and it didnt seem like the same dish or quantity of food as the pictures on google. They dared to ask 34 euro for it. Even in my hometown in the Netherlands you get at least 200/250 grams for that price, and we have a very expensive restaurant culture compared to Italy. Ambiance a 3 because of the weird, out of place music that was playing. Price quality/quantity gap is too big. Left hungry.

At first from the other reviews, my husband and I thought finding a dish that we would like would be a bit difficult, especially with me not liking meat as much but we went regardless for our anniversary and found that this place does offer just what we were hoping for. The menu photos the others posted aren't updated and the service? Impeccable. The place is clean, the servers and host are incredibly nice and welcoming. I honest to god felt like royalty. This is the nicest restaurant we have ever been to. Yes, the pricing is a bit much but the food is so delicious and presentable that being a one-time occurrence was well worth it for our 6 years. I highly recommend this place and I would love to come again, almost everything on the menu is inviting.

Very good local traditional food. Slightly pricey, but the quality is great! If you don't mind spending a little bit extra, it's a good place to come to for lunch or dinner. Absolutely loved the mixed entrees plate, and the passatelli with black truffle was divine!

Great little restaurant. Super friendly staff. Super fresh ingredients. Home made pasta, home made bread. Delicious food. Highly recommended. If you believe this review is useful, then please 'like' it.

A little bit more expensive but definitely worth the price for the amazing location. Especially with the friendly staff and free appetizer and dessert.

If you only have time to eat dinner in one place in Urbino, come to la Stella. The food is delicious and beautiful. The wine list is vast and well selected. The staff are knowledgable and welcoming. In addition, the setting itself is elegant but homey. TOP

It does not matter if you don't have a doctorate in Arts, you will appreciate this place, the name and the other worldly ability of this painter and his father. Please visit and get a real feel for the artist.

Leaves a lot to be desired. If you expect to see any works by Raphael, you will be disappointed. There are many other works displayed but not much is offered in the way of explanation and half of them are unlabelled anyway. There are several empty shelves so there is possibly more to see in the tourist season. I would recommend a visit if you are an admirer of the artist and know what to look for. The museum bookshop is well-stocked but virtually only has Italian literature. The entrance fee is 4€.

Not much original work left, mostly copies, the house itself is nice.

We didn't enter the house, but we noticed something strange. During the day, there is a 'plate' to indicate that this is the birth house of the famous painter. In the evening, the 'plate' is gone. Maybe some fans see it as a collector's item? If you believe this review is useful, then please 'like' it.

You feel the medieval atmosphere in this house. You can wander from one room to another and imagine how families lived here, cooked food, met friends. I highly recommend this place if you want to get this feeling.

Interesting place, worth seeing if you are nearby. Admission is € 3,50. Several works of art by several famous artists including Raffaello

Nice place to visit, give an idea of Raffaello' time.

Lovely taverna in Urbino. Delicious food, good service and decent prices. Everything that I ordered was yummy, fresh ingredients. They have a clean toilet as well. The only sad thing for me was that they didn't serve pizza on lunch time, I was excited to order one but it is how it is.

Delightful pizzeria! Pizza was amazing - roman style / thin crust, with very affordable prices. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you want pizza!

I cannot thank you all enough for the incredible service and food you provided. Your staff were incredible, so attentive to our needs and made booking for 30+ people (with lots of different dietary requirements) a breeze. It was truly a highlight of our trip, both for myself, but also for the many guests of our retreats that we brought here. Thank you.

Had lunch at this wonderful restaurant. I'm a solo traveler and they made me feel very welcome. The food was excellent and the service was very attentive. I found the dishes very reasonably priced I strongly recommend this is a place to eat for a very rewarding experience.

Unfortunately an unpleasant surprise, considering the quite positive reviews. They had us eating in the courtyard, which is nothing more than a claustrophobic hallway. It was worse than being outside, as no air was coming through whatsoever, and on a hot summer evening, we were both sweating within a couple of minutes at 8 pm. We ordered two passatelli with asparagus, cherry tomatoes and sausage, a chicken breast, and a rare beef steak. The passatelli had a nice flavor, but were seriously missing the asparagus. There were maybe 7 or 8 tiny bits in the dish, and had we been blindfolded, we would’ve never guessed there were any at all. Absolutely couldn’t taste the asparagus in it. The chicken breast was nice. A well balanced vinaigrette gave it a nice flavor. There was a whole, unpeeled clove of garlic on the plate. We found it “interesting”. The €20 “steak” was a ridiculously thin, 1/3 of an inch, maybe 3 or 4 oz slice of beef with a bone and untrimmed chunks of fat. Being that thin, it obviously couldn’t be cooked rare as requested, but medium at the very best, with the thinnest edge being practically well done. It was honestly embarrassing. I really could not recommend this place, which again I find surprising, considering the decent reviews. Maybe we went on the wrong evening? Who knows. But we won’t go again to find out. They don’t accept American Express. I found it a little odd considering this is a restaurant in a central location, in the historic center of a tourist area.

We visited with our kids (9 & 5) and were a bit late for lunch (13:15). The waiter took a quick look at the clock, but decided instantly to stay open a bit longer. When we left we thanked her for staying open, and she said they did not mind and it happened more often. Nonetheless it was much appreciated! The food was in good proportions and we ordered a variety of dishes to share. We tasted the best Carbonara and Ravioli.

Everything was amazing! Great food, very nice and polite service and a great location. I will come here again! The price is also very good for such amazing food.

I was trying to book this hotel for Easter and I asked if I could do a late check-in; I received this answer from the hotel: "We are sorry but our check-in ends at 8 PM. After this time, an additional fee of €80 will be applied. Furthermore, we request you to send us the written and signed payment authorization complete with front and back photos of the credit card to charge the total amount + supplement, and photos of your valid passports." I think it’s way too complicated. I am sure Urbino is plenty of places where it’s easier to book a hotel room.

Self check-in, beautiful views from the room (3rd floor), nice stuff, good breakfast. 100 m from the main square. Parking in Santa Lucia Park house. 3 stars worth. Improvement potential. PS: self check in is quite simple but not for those unfamiliar with different apps.

Urbino is a very substantial ancient city, with a lower degree of tourist "bustle" than we had expected in the peak of summer. We had three superior suite rooms on the top floor, all with excellent views of the walled city. The hotel Raffaello is accessible by car only for dropping off luggage, and then cars must be parked outside the wall of the old city, but the proprietor was able to direct us well, such that our vehicles were secure. There is a wonderful park accessible up a relatively steep walk near the hotel, and the following morning an extensive market was operating. We had breakfast at the hotel enjoying fresh fruits, various cakes, breads with cheese and salami, ham, eggs, yogurt, etc.. the buffet was very rich and sophisticated offering genuine products and land.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great view from the room but only if you lean out the window. The wall between the room I was in and the next room was very thin and you could easily hear the conversations of the other guests. Good location, good breakfast. Enjoyed the stay.

Location in the truest sense of the word “top” – uphill and just below the fortress. In the middle of the historical city and only steps away from pretty much all the sights and places you want to visit. The view from the room picture-book pretty, the room itself spacious and nicely furnished. All the personnel - without an exception - professional, very friendly and always helpful – and the owner Giulio Lonzi repeatedly went over and above the call of duty. He gave helpful advice on parking - literally impossible inside the city walls, but with a weekly “minipass” for the multi-storey car park reasonably priced and so convenient. He even called us, when he thought we were a bit late in arriving, to check if we were ok, then directed us to the right ticket office and arranged for a taxi to pick us up (even though you can get a short-term permit to take your car to the hotel and back to drop your luggage, you really don’t want to tackle those steep narrow streets, believe me). When my wife sprained her ankle while on a day trip, he directed us to the nearest emergency room and picked us up later himself, when we were stranded without a taxi in sight and her totally incapable of more than hopping on one leg. He helped me to drag/carry her up the last few metres from his car to the hotel and up to the room and … believe it or not, he managed to conjure up a pair of crutches for her before we had even started to wonder if and where we could get some. He then provided us with addresses of restaurants that would deliver meals to the hotel. The man repeatedly solved our problems, before we even realized we had one. He finally spent ages to find a wonderful restaurant for my birthday dinner – on a Sunday in October at the nearby Adriatic coast when the season there had practically ended and most restaurants were closed … To put it in a nutshell – staying in the Raffaello is like staying with a friend … a good friend! Thank you Giulio! We’ll be back!

Great place to be if you’re in Urbino or around! The location is amazing. Nice food and accommodation. Kind staff. You won’t regret a minute. I definitely high recommend Hotel Raffaello.

Nice inexpensive stay. Not as modern as other hotels I've stayed. But what's modern in Urbino? Easy access to anywhere in the walled city.

The most wonderful place to relax.

It's a great place, where is situated the university, and the most famous attractions from Urbino. In Christmas time were put decorations, and trees around all the historic centre for a beautiful Christmas holiday experience

The ancient town of Urbino has been included since 1998 in the UNESCO world heritage list. It is actually a small town for today's standards, but it is nevertheless an important one, because of its history, mostly related to the Renaissance and to relationships with the surrounding regions, most notably Tuscany. In these times the city expressed also a Pope. Urbino is also the hometown of the world famous painter Raffaello Sanzio. Additionally, and most related to nowadays, Urbino is a renowned university city, where many students flock from other Italian regions and even from abroad. Both features of the city, its history and its university, make Urbino an expensive city, where finding a home is not easy for everyone.

After having spent the university years, coming back is always a pleasure. every wall is a piece of history, every street a new discovery. Do not stop in the main passages too much time because even the narrowest street hides some unique and rare work of art. just a fantastic city.

Lovely historic square after our uphill walk. Very atmospheric yet empty on Saturday evening.

Beautiful city in which you can view from miles away when entering the city center. So many restaurants and stores to visit. Many museums as well.

Very nice city. Intersting. Clean. Some historic places.

Beautiful old church. The oratory is best known for its late Gothic style fresco cycle (1416) by the brothers Lorenzo and Jacopo Salimbeni. Brothers Lorenzo Salimbeni (1374-c1418) and Jacopo Salimbeni (c.1370/80 - after 1426) were Italian medieval painters representative of International Gothic style.

Never miss this small place, fantastic fresco

Spettacolo, vale molto a vedere. A small pray church but they are absolutely worth to visit

Best ever in Urbino.

It's wonderful!

Breathtaking beautiful.

Exquisite fresco cycle.

(Translated by Google) Very good pizza, excellent dough and wide choice. We ate there so we didn't get to try the delivery service. (Original) Pizza molto buona, ottimo impasto e vasta scelta. Abbiamo mangiato lì quindi non abbiamo potuto provare il servizio a domicilio.

(Translated by Google) Very good pizza and friendly staff (Original) La pizza molto buona e personale cordiale

(Translated by Google) If I could I would give zero stars. Pizza also good but avoid delivery. Pizza two hours late ordered at 8.15am, when we called the girl on the phone she used the excuse that the guy was new. But orders aren't managed like that. (Original) Potessi darei zero stelle. Pizza anche buona ma evitate a domicilio. Pizza con due ore di ritardo ordinata alle 8:15, quando abbiamo chiamato la ragazza al telefono ha usato la scusa che il ragazzo era nuovo. Ma non si gestiscono cosi degli ordini.

(Translated by Google) It's the second time I've ordered pizza at home and today it arrived too late... plus they didn't deliver it to the right address and I had to leave the house to collect it. As if that wasn't enough, the pizza had soft potatoes and raw sauce... the only positive note was the cute pizza holder😂 (Original) È la seconda volta che ordino la pizza a domicilio ed è anch oggi arrivata con un largo ritardo.. in piu non l hanno portata al giusto indirizzo e son dovuto uscire di casa per ritirarle. Come se non bastasse la pizza aveva le patate molli e il sugo crudo.. unica nota positiva la portapizze carina😂

(Translated by Google) Change jobs. We had ordered 3 pizzas, ok 3 pizzas also have their time but damn an ​​hour and a half late is shocking, they arrived at a quarter to 11 in the evening, even the girl on the phone insisted on saying that all the orders were had been delivered and were about to close. But never change jobs again. (Original) Cambiate lavoro. Avevamo ordinato 3 pizze, ok 3 pizze hanno anche il loro tempo però diamine un'ora e mezza di ritardo è sconvolgente, ci sono arrivate alle 11 meno un quarto di sera, persino la ragazza al telefono si ostinava a dire che tutti gli ordini erano stati consegnati e stavano per chiudere. Ma cambiate lavoro davvero mai più.

(Translated by Google) very good pizza for local standards but every time I order home delivery I always have to call the restaurant because even though I am told a precise delivery time, the order always arrives half an hour later (Original) pizza molto buona per gli standard locali ma ogni volta che ordino a domicilio devo sempre chiamare il ristorante perché nonostante mi venga comunicato un preciso orario di consegna, l'ordine arriva sempre una mezz'oretta dopo

(Translated by Google) Delicious pizza and very good girls, we miss the owner at the office, but still a well-kept place, although the pizza would be preferable eaten on the spot, the space is limited and therefore even if it is convenient to go home, many times it is not very punctual! Good quality products (Original) Pizza buonissima e ragazze bravissime, si sente la mancanza della titolare in sede, ma comunque posto ben tenuto, nonostante la pizza sarebbe da preferire mangiata sul momento lo spazio è ristretto e quindi se pur convenga il domicilio molte volte non è puntualissimo! Prodotti di buona fattura

Such a lovely vibe, nice and decent priced cocktails. Very friendly owner . We had a very tasty aperitivo 🤍

Fantastic place for aperitivo. It is small so it can be a bit crowded though... but that is expected with great wines, food and atmosphere

The place is small and intimate. Had a nice aperitivo with cocktails and bruschette. Lovely atmosphere.

the products are not fresh and overpriced

Delicious coffee, they have soya milk and biscuits are clearly labeled vegan.

Lovely service and wonderful cocktails!

Cozy terrace, relaxing vibe

One of the worst experience we had in an Italian Restaurant. Extremely small portions for a lot of Money and the appetizers are a joke. An absolute abomination of a tourist trap!!

V much enjoyed the local cuisine and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly helpful staff. I think the portions were about right although I can see that people used to big portions may be disappointed

We waited for a very very long time to be seated... and then the staff focused on the table next to us who came later. Anyways... but the staff is very nice and polite and pretty helpful after giving his attention to us. The food was good. Really recommend the lamb dish. The steak was also good and reasonably priced. Grilled vegetables was very tasty too (the fact that they have a cooked vegetable dish is very thoughtful, most placed only have salads).

Food not very nice! Two of us had fish pasta (one seafood and one cod) which both tasted like they had been made with a jar and gave me a bit of an upset stomach. The othe two both had sausages (which tasted like very salty ham) and baked potatoes with no butter or any kind of sauce available. None of us finished even half of our meals. Service was adequate but disinterested. Not a pleasant experience.

Way to expensive compared to the smallest potions we encountered. Ordered vegetable as side dish, and got a bowl of something I think was spinach. Worst place we have visited.

We really enjoyed dinner here. Interesting faba Bean pasta dish. Place was packed in a small piazza with lights. More like a trattoria. Casual.

The menu looked nice, we were allowed to seat, and decided after 20 minutes without even ordering the wine to leave. They were rude enough to tell us arrivederci in bad ways when they say us leaving. Rude is the right word to define them

Studied in Urbino 7 years ago as a study abroad student. I remembered this restaurant as being one of my favorite meals. Came back recently and everything was as excellent as I remembered. They have plates and wine typical of the region and they are right in the center. We had strozzapreti in cartoccio with porcini mushrooms and truffles. For secondo we ate steak with gorgonzola cream sauce and stuffed rabbit.

Fantastic! Great setting, beautiful building with brick ceilings... Food was delicious. I had the lunch soecial, ti con Tartufo - tasty & well presented

Nice place, very characteristic. Food ok, but I had higher expectations, Ravioli not really recommended. A bit expensive for what you eat.

Oytimo

Excellent food, very nice atmosphere, kind waitress. We will come back!

Great

A great meal and our young waitress was awesome. Super polite and doing a fantastic job as it got really busy.

A lovely park with a stunning view of the castle.

Must see! Best visata in Urbino. It is very calm and peaceful here, the rumour from cars does not reach here. The best thing is to make a picnic here. It is free entry, two entrances.

Nice view on the city. Peaceful and not too crowdy...

The park is very small. It has a playground for children and amazing views from the top of the hill. Great place to sit down and relax after walking in town. .

Panoramic point of view. A Must if you're in Urbino. There's a bar if you want to drink something. Perfect selfie point

Great views, a good place to enjoy snacks and sunshine.

Stunning view of Urbino, great place to sit and chill.

Another interesting historic building that worths a visit if wanting to know about defensive lines ...together with a nice view over the city.

Gorgeous views. Well worth the climb!

Good landscape... Cozy view ✨️

I consider it Urbino's best viewpoint: both the valley and the town itself can be admired. Definitely a must see place.

Amazing panoramic view of the hills of Urbino and also the Duomo. The fortress is also a beautiful sight.

Top!!!!

Beutyfull place

Fantastic location with panoramic view over valley one way and the castle the other way. Food was inexpensive and filling and the service friendly. Worth the little extra walk.

Old theatre. No staff no tiketing information.

(Translated by Google) …I'll start by saying that I only saw this Raffaello Sanzio Theater in Urbino from the outside!!…climbing up the spiral ramp!!…and arriving in Corso Garibaldi!!…in front of the façade of the Palazzo Ducale!!…here is this beautiful building! !...with fantastic architecture!!...it is the main theater of the city!!...in fact, many important events and performances are held here!!...even if only seen from the outside!!...I imagine that the inside is also really beautiful theatre!!…Sanzio Theater in Urbino!!… (Original) …premetto che ho visto solamente all’esterno questo Teatro Raffaello Sanzio a Urbino!!…salita dalla rampa elicoidale!!…e arrivata in Corso Garibaldi!!…di fronte alla facciata del Palazzo Ducale!!…qui si trova questo bellissimo edificio!!…con un architettura fantastica!!…è il principale teatro della città!!…infatti qui si tengono tanti eventi e rappresentazioni importanti!!…anche se visto solamente all’esterno!!…immagino che anche all’interno sia proprio un bel teatro!!…Teatro Sanzio a Urbino!!…

(Translated by Google) It is a very interesting theatre, built in the 19th century, positioning it above the helical ramp by Francesco di Giorgio Martini which on the occasion was filled with debris to support it. Small but valuable with good acoustics. (Original) È un teatro molto interessante, edificato nell’800, posizionandolo sopra la rampa elicoidale di Francesco di Giorgio Martini che nell’occasione venne riempita di detriti per sostenerlo. Piccolo ma pregiato con una buona acustica.

(Translated by Google) Small but nice, nothing special. The area outside the stalls and the boxes, however, is decidedly ugly, in a slightly retro 70s style, like most of the internal buildings of the Urbino university. In short, a historical gem of this caliber should be reevaluated in a different way. (Original) Piccolino ma bello, nulla di particolare. La zona al di fuori della platea e dei palchi, invece, è decisamente brutta, in stile anni '70 un po' retrò, come gran parte degli edifici interni dell'università urbinate. Insomma, un gioiellino storico di questo calibro sarebbe da rivalutare in maniera diversa.

(Translated by Google) I knew it by reputation and, given its size, I thought it was located in a more decentralized place, but instead it is a stone's throw from the historic center, although it remains partially detached from it. Its external architecture contributes to making the entire context interesting. It's impossible not to notice it since its facade contrasts a few tens of meters away with the towers of the ducal palace. (Original) Lo conoscevo di fama e, viste le dimensioni, pensavo fosse situato in un luogo più decentrato, invece è ad un passo dal centro storico, pur rimanendone parzialmente distaccato. La sua architettura esterna contribuisce a rendere interessante l'intero contesto. Impossibile non notarlo visto che la sua facciata si contrappone a poche decine di metri, alle torri del palazzo ducale.

(Translated by Google) Sanzio Theater located in front of the little towers of the Ducal Palace is a structure with an Egyptian style façade, it certainly represents a tourist attraction. (Original) Teatro Sanzio situato di fronte ai torricini del Palazzo ducale è una struttura con la facciata in stile egizio, rappresenta senz'altro una attrazione turistica.

Awesome

(Translated by Google) Bastione della Rampa Elicoidale (Helical Ramp Bastion), Urbino The Bastione della Rampa Elicoidale is one of the most fascinating and atmospheric corners of Urbino, where architecture, history, and functionality merge into a stunning spiral path. This structure was commissioned by Federico III da Montefeltro between 1480 and 1488 to facilitate the passage from Piazza Mercatale to the Palazzo Ducale—even for horses and sleighs, which speaks volumes about the scale of the era's ambitions. Architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini created a ramp within the bastion tower, creating a smooth spiral ascent that served a practical purpose while also demonstrating the ruler's prestige and the mastery of Renaissance architecture. Today, this ramp is open to visitors, free of charge, and perfectly preserved. Climbing it is more than just a transition from the lower to the upper parts of the city—it's a journey through time. The ramp offers picturesque views of the rooftops, turrets, the façade of the Ducal Palace, and the ancient city walls, all surrounded by the rolling Marche landscape, valleys, and rural slopes. It's especially beautiful in the morning and before sunset, when the soft light illuminates the stone walls and adds expressiveness to the composition. The Bastione della Rampa Elicoidale is a remarkable example of Renaissance engineering and urban planning: it combines historical utility with visual aesthetics. Visitors walking or driving up to the Mercatale will find this passage convenient and inspiring. It's worth adding to your itinerary if you love architecture, history, or simply beautiful views. (Original) Bastione della Rampa Elicoidale (Helical Ramp Bastion), Урбино Bastione della Rampa Elicoidale — один из самых интересных и атмосферных уголков Урбино, где архитектура, история и функциональность соединяются в удивительный спиральный путь. Это сооружение было построено между 1480 и 1488 годами по заказу Федерико III да Монтефельтро, чтобы облегчить путь от площади Mercatale к Palazzo Ducale — даже для лошадей и саней, что само по себе говорит о масштабе амбиций эпохи. Архитектор Francesco di Giorgio Martini создал рампу внутри башни-бастиона, организовав плавный спиральный подъем, который с одной стороны служил практической цели, а с другой — демонстрировал престиж правителя и мастерство ренессансного зодчества. Сегодня эта рампа открыта для посетителей, бесплатна и прекрасно сохранилась. Подъём по ней — это не просто переход из низшей части города к высшей — это путешествие сквозь время. С рампы открываются живописные виды на крыши, башенки, фасад Ducal Palace и старинные стены города, а вокруг — холмистый пейзаж Марке, долины и сельские склоны. Особенно красиво утром и перед закатом, когда свет мягко освещает каменные стены и придаёт композиции выразительность. Bastione della Rampa Elicoidale — замечательный образец ренессансной инженерии и городской планировки: она соединяет историческую утилитарность с визуальной эстетикой. Посетители, идущие пешком или подъезжающие к Mercatale, найдут этот проход удобным и вдохновляющим. Это место стоит добавить в маршрут, если вы любите архитектуру, историю или просто красивые виды.

(Translated by Google) Designed and built inside a tower between 1.480 and 1.488 by the Sienese architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini by order of Federico III da Montefeltro (Gubbio 7 June 1.422 - Ferrara 10 September 1.482), the helical ramp allowed the Duke and the his court to reach the Ducal Palace on horseback. Centuries later, its usefulness has not ceased, I recommend: Leave the car at the Mercatale car park (€12.00 per day, if you stay longer the rate is halved) where you will find the entrance to the helical ramp and when you arrive at the top you will have the Sanzio Theater, the Palazzo Ducale and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta just a few meters away, in short you are in the heart of Urbino and the Renaissance. (Original) Progettata e realizzata all’interno di un torrione tra il 1.480 e il 1.488 dall’architetto senese Francesco di Giorgio Martini per volontà di Federico III da Montefeltro (Gubbio 7 giugno 1.422 - Ferrara 10 settembre 1.482), la rampa elicoidale permetteva al Duca ed alla sua corte di raggiungere il Palazzo Ducale a cavallo. A distanza di secoli la sua utilità non è venuta meno, consiglio: Lasciate l’auto al Parcheggio Mercatale (€ 12,00 al giorno, se vi fermate oltre la tariffa si dimezza) dove troverete l’ingresso della rampa elicoidale e quando sarete giunti in cima avrete a pochi metri il Teatro Sanzio, il Palazzo Ducale ed ancora la Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, insomma siete nel cuore di Urbino e del rinascimento.

(Translated by Google) The helical ramp built by the architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini in the 1400s allows you to quickly reach the historic center of the city from the Mercatale car park. Cultural events and activities such as exhibitions etc. are organized inside. At the exit there is a portico that leads directly to Piazza della Repubblica which constitutes the beating heart of the Ducal city. If you turn right, the majestic and elegant façade of the Ducal Palace appears to the visitor. (Original) La rampa elicoidale realizzata dall'Architetto Francesco di Giorgio Martini nel 400 consente dal parcheggio del Mercatale di raggiungere in poco tempo il centro storico della città. All'interno si organizzano eventi ed attività culturali come mostre ecc. All'uscita si sviluppa il portico che conduce direttamente in Piazza della Repubblica che costituisce il cuore pulsante della città Ducale . Se si svolta sulla destra appare al visitatore la maestosa ed elegante facciata del Palazzo ducale.

Nice location; that's it. The inside is totally disappointing. The curator, if there is one, needs a wake up call.

In fact more beautiful from outside than inside, this mausoleum houses the grave of comte Montefeltro

Decorating the skyline when exiting the ancient fortress of Urbino

(Translated by Google) Worth a visit. The transparent chairs are beautiful, they highlight the entire Church: floors, frescoes, etc. (Original) Merita una visita. Belle le sedie trasparenti, danno risalto all'intera Chiesa: pavimenti, affreschi, ecc.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic place from which you can admire the view of Urbino. Place immersed in peace and tranquility. (Original) Fantastico luogo da cui si può ammirare la veduta di Urbino. Luogo immerso nella pace e nella tranquillità.

(Translated by Google) Characteristic church, I had studied it at university and seeing it live has quite an effect. At sunset there is a beautiful light and luckily you can reach it easily because parking is there and it is free. I recommend taking a tour if you pass through Urbino because you can enjoy a unique view of the city (Original) Chiesa caratteristica, l’avevo studiata in università e vederla dal vivo fa un bel l’effetto. Al tramonto c’è una bellissima luce e per fortuna si riesce a raggiungere facilmente perché il parcheggio c’è ed è gratuito. Consiglio di farci un giro se si passa per Urbino perché si gode di una vista unica sulla città

(Translated by Google) Stunning little church surrounded by nature from which you can enjoy a unique view of the city of Urbino! Inside there are the tombs of the dukes Federico di Montefeltro and his son Guidubaldo. If you are on holiday in Urbino it is a recommended stop! (Original) Chiesetta stupenda immersa nella natura da cui è possibile godere di una vista unica sulla città di Urbino! All'interno sono presenti le tombe dei duchi Federico di Montefeltro e del figlio Guidubaldo. Se si è in vacanza ad Urbino è una tappa consigliata!

The location is stunning, but the service was quite poor. Two young students taking care of the service. They didn't have much of a clue and were not collaborative. This venue could be much better with a little bit of extra efforts.

The restaurant La Terrazza del Duca is located just outside the external walls of the ancient town of Urbino. It is located at the first floor, just above a nice bar. The food is very good, the restaurant is actually also a Neapolitan pizzeria, but they also prepare excellent cuisine dishes, besides the pizza. The cuisine is mostly tied to the local traditions of the Marche region. The people are very friendly and the service is quick and kind. Too bad we could not choose our table, and we had to sit just before the main entrance, so that cold air from outside came onto us every time that someone stepped in the restaurant.

Superb food! We didn't have a booking but they squeezed us in. We tried a variety of starters and primi piatti all of which were top notch. Very friendly staff

Amazing view from the bottom of the historical city centre. So you will have a beautiful sight of the palace, especially at night. The restaurant is not a groundbreaking example if interior design, but the most important thing is: you will have good food. Traditional; revised; meat or pasta they will give you a broad range of choice. Pizza is also popular but I did not try. Taken a mix grilled meat with side roasted potatoes and treat. I was not disappointed, so I truly recommend a stop here, in favour of other touristy restaurants in the old Urbino.

Our hosts recommended this restaurant near the centre. Overlooking part of the walls and castle. We called without a reservation and after a bit of time looking at their book we sat down. The food was good but my spaghetti dish. Was served on a cold plate, so my food was cold before I had finished, surely a no no in any kitchen.

€10-12 for a primi or secundi that are the least enjoyable we’ve experienced in Italy. Chicken with defrosted carrots and potatoes so mushi that it tastes like it comes out of the freezer. The ravioli was probably microwaved. Just not good. Tourist trap…

that's a very nice spot with great view, great quality of food at a right pricing and most important, very good service. definitely worth a visit.

Great pizzeria right in the city center. You can choose whole pizza or slices. A wide variety, drinks are also sold, including alcohol. Of the minuses - inconvenient working hours and non-working Monday

Food quality was good, friendly staff!

Delicious! Best pizzeria in Urbino! Prices are ok and tastes are priceless!

Not my favourite. Pizza was very greasy and it had too much cheese on it. I would rather say that it is a more american style pizza than an typical italian style. People in there were friendly.

First time the Margherita is amazing taste, I like it. I recommend it for the people who visit Urbino in the first time.

Quick, cheap and tasty... Overall just perfect. Free WiFi aswell

Nice “American” style of pizza. You can get a slice for €2

Food was wonderful, best pizza and pasta so far I have had! Service was superb, Pepe and Kevin will be my reference for excellence in service from now on!!!

Nice little pizzeria and local restaurant hidden into the back streets . We enjoyed 2 stunning pizzas between us . The only thing preventing a 5 star review was a very nasty , hidden and unnecessary cover charge tacked one the bill, still don’t what us was for , but amounted to over 25% of the entire bill . Be very aware as this has happened to us on a number of occasions . Obviously they never received a tip SOME SIMPLE RULES TO COMBAT THE COPERTO 1. IN GENERAL, THE BEST RESTAURANTS DO NOT CHARGE ANY COPERTO (ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE GLARING EXCEPTIONS). IN OUR EXPERIENCE, THE RESTAURANTS NOT CHARGING THE COPERTO WERE THE ONES WHERE WE HAD THE BEST FOOD EXPERIENCE. SO RULE OF THUMB, PATRONISE RESTAURANTS WHICH DO NOT CHARGE THE COPERTO. ​ 2. ASK BEFORE YOU LEAP. IT IS NOT RUDE TO ASK THE WAITER / SERVER WHETHER THE RESTAURANT CHARGES A COPERTO / SERVICE CHARGE / COVER CHARGE. IF THE ANSWER IS YES, AND YOU DO NOT WISH TO PAY IT, JUST MOTION AS IF TO MOVE TO ANOTHER ONE. THERE IS A FAIR CHANCE THAT THE WAITRESS WOULD WAIVE OFF THE COPERTO. 3. THE COPERTO GOES BY DIFFERENT NAMES - SERVICE CHARGE, COVER CHARGE ETC. CHECK SPECIFICALLY FOR ALL OF THESE SYNONYMS WITH THE RESTAURANT. IF YOU ARE NOT CONVINCED WITH THE ANSWER, ASK AGAIN. ITS BETTER TO BE SURE THAN TO BE SURPRISED WITH A NUMBER YOU WERE NOT PREPARED FOR. 4. THE RESTAURANTS IN THE TOURIST AREAS WOULD HAVE WAITERS OUTSIDE INVITING YOU INTO THE RESTAURANT. AS A RULE OF THUMB, BEWARE! THESE COULD BE TOURIST TRAPS AND IN MOST LIKELIHOOD WOULD NOT BE THE BEST FOOD EXPERIENCE NEITHER VALUE FOR MONEY!

A little hidden gem of a restaurant with truly local food and a fun local host. An absolute must when visiting Urbino.

My friends and I have been here for more than 3 times and it never disappoints!!! The cook and servers are lovely and would willingly talk to us and make sure we’re having a good time. A definite staple!!

The food is amazing and eating here was very comfortable and inviting. Thanks to Andrea and Luca for the experience they provided every time we went.

Amazing food, very nice service alot of amazing food everything was perfect. The ambience could have been a bit better but it deserves a 5 star review!

Excellent menu and value for money

We visited Cantina Terracruda the night before our wedding in Fossombrone, as all of our wine had been specially chosen from their vineyard. It was such a special and memorable experience. From the start, the communication via email was warm, responsive, and helpful throughout the year, and they even kindly agreed to open early just for us. When we arrived, we were greeted with a genuinely warm welcome from the family owners, along with two very friendly spaniels who reminded us of our own dog back home! The owner was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable, and he gave us a private hour long tour through various vineyards, offering stunning views and a wonderfully informative insight into their work, all in brilliant English. His enthusiasm for the land, the grapes, and their family run business was wonderful to see. We then explored the winery and production, before sitting in the sunshine in their lovely courtyard to taste 12 different wines, paired with delicious antipasti, fresh bread, and olive oil. Each wine was distinctive and we were guided through them with explanations and written tasting notes. It was the most extensive and engaging tasting we’ve ever done! We were having such a lovely time that we couldn’t resist purchasing a bottle of our wedding wine, Boccalino, to enjoy in the garden overlooking the rolling countryside. The accommodation was also fantastic - spacious, clean, and charming, with access to a variety of lovely gardens, seating areas, and a large pool. It was the ideal place to relax and finish our final wedding preparations. For the quality of the wine, the setting, and the service, we felt it was an absolute bargain. It should have cost double! We couldn’t recommend Cantina Terracruda more highly and would love to return in the future. We’ll definitely be in touch to see about shipping some wine to the UK! Grazie mille to the entire Terracruda team for such a memorable experience.

Had an amazing tasting experience with the Itineris project. Luca was extremely knowledgeable about the wines and was very welcoming. The place is stunning, surrounded by beautiful hills. We tasted several types of wine produced by Terracruda, including their three versions of Bianchello, two ancient grapes Incrocio Bruni 54 & Garofanata, and their Spumanti. Would highly recommend a visit if in Le Marche.

We enjoyed a very informative wine tasting session. Panoramic views and healthy well run organic vineyard. Hosts are very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. Eleanora who did our presentation was both knowledgeable and friendly. We tried approximately 12 different wines with breads, cheeses & meats to complement the wines. Absolutely brilliant session, great value and highly recommended. Very reasonably priced high quality wines. You should definitely take the time to visit this spectacular place

Great place for tasting perfect wine and celebrate birthday

This is a fabulous B&B with 4 apartments and a terrific swimming pool attached for the residents use. The views are breathtaking and within easy reach of the Adriatic coast if you want a day at the beach. San Marino is 75 mins away, Rimini about 55 mins away and Numana where you can join a guided tour of.tye Turtle release at the Two sisters beach. Onsite @ Terracuda Cantina there is a winery and shop for thos partial to award winning local wines. Maria, Luca, Carlos & Leonora all made the stay a great break. Everything in the area is well priced and the wine is available on site. Highly recommended to stay here, if not for you then at least arrange a wine tasting tour ( about 9 wines with some cheese, bread and meats ) the grounds, the factory and the shop.

Lovely staff and very enthusiastic and interesting explanations about the origin of the wines. We are looking forward to spread the word about the great wines we tasted and bought at this place.

Charming winery and fields just outside of Fratte Rosa. The tasting room has a gorgeous, breath-taking view of the surroundings and pool. The owner took us to the processing room and fields to walk among the grapevines. I'd love to go back as a guest!

Nice view

(Translated by Google) A large statue of Raphael stands in Piazzale Roma, up the hill from Raphael's birthplace. Although the statue is too tall to see up close, I was deeply moved by the great artist Raphael, who passed away at a young age. 2024/4/24 (Original) ラファエロの生家から坂を上り切ったローマ広場に大きなラファエロ像が立っています。銅像が高すぎて間近に見ることは出来ませんが、若くして世を去った偉大な芸術家ラファエロに感激しました。 2024/4/24

(Translated by Google) This monument is located in the gardens of Piano del Monte at the top of the street named after Raphael, practically a few steps from the Albornoz fortress. I was struck by the look of the large bronze statue depicting Raffaello Sanzio holding a brush and palette. The work was created by the Turin sculptor Luigi Belli between 1894 and 1897, following a public subscription promoted by the Raphael Academy. Very quiet and uncrowded place. We passed through it before going to the Albornoz fortress. (Original) Questo monumento si trova nei giardini di Piano del Monte in cima alla via intitolata a Raffaello praticamente a pochi passi della fortezza Albornoz. Mi ha colpito lo sguardo della grande statua in bronzo che raffigura Raffaello Sanzio con in mano pennello e tavolozza. L’opera, è stata realizzata  dallo  scultore torinese Luigi Belli fra il 1894 e il 1897, in seguito ad una pubblica sottoscrizione promossa dall’Accademia Raffaello. Luogo molto tranquillo e poco affollato. Ci siamo passati prima di recarci alla fortezza Albornoz.

(Translated by Google) Raphael is undoubtedly Urbino's most famous citizen, and the city chose to dedicate this monument to him (somewhat belatedly), inaugurated in 1897. It was initially located in Piazza Duca Federico (in front of the Palazzo Ducale), but in 1947 it was moved, not without some controversy, to its current location in Piazzale Roma (or Pian del Monte). Recently restored, the monument stands in a large, tree-lined square and is surrounded by busts of illustrious figures with ties to the city of Urbino. It is a work of perhaps slightly outdated taste, but it is pleasing and imposing, set in a very pleasant setting. (Original) Raffaello è sicuramente il cittadino di Urbino più famoso e la città ha voluto dedicargli (un po' tardivamente) questo monumento inaugurato nel 1897. Inizialmente fu collocato in piazza Duca Federico (di fronte al Palazzo Ducale), ma nel 1947 fu poi spostato, non senza qualche polemica, nella collocazione attuale, in Piazzale Roma (o Pian del Monte). Recentemente restaurato, il monumento si trova in un vasto piazzale alberato ed è circondato dai busti di personaggi illustri che hanno avuto legami con la città di Urbino. Si tratta di un'opera di gusto forse un po' superato, ma piacevole ed imponente, inserito in una scenografia molto gradevole.

(Translated by Google) The work, created by the Turin sculptor Luigi Belli between 1894 and 1897, following a public subscription promoted by the Raffaello Academy, is a bronze statue representing the famous painter with the palette and brushes in his hand. The sculpture is placed on a high base  decorated with bas-reliefs, at the base of the pedestal are placed allegorical figures of cherubs and bronze statues symbolizing the Genius and the  Renaissance, as well as medallions with portraits of Bramante, PeruginoGiulio Romano, Viti, Giovanni da Udine , Perin del Vaga, Marcantonio  Raimondi. The coats of arms of Urbino, Venice, Florence, Siena and Rome are also depicted in the frieze of the pedestal. (Original) L’opera, realizzata  dallo  scultore torinese Luigi Belli fra il 1894 e il 1897, in seguito ad una pubblica sottoscrizione promossa dall’Accademia Raffaello, è una statua bronzea  che rappresenta il famoso pittore con la tavolozza ed i  pennelli in mano. La scultura è collocata su un alto basamento  decorato con bassorilievi, alla base del piedistallo sono poste figure allegoriche di putti e statue bronzee che simboleggiano il Genio e la  Rinascenza, oltre ai medaglioni con i ritratti di Bramante, PeruginoGiulio Romano, Viti, Giovanni da Udine, Perin del Vaga, Marcantonio  Raimondi. Nel fregio del piedistallo sono inoltre raffigurati gli  stemmi di Urbino, Venezia, Firenze, Siena e Roma.

(Translated by Google) The Raphael Monument in Urbino, located in the gardens in front of the Albornoz Fortress, is one of the most evocative places where the city pays homage to its most illustrious son. Created in the late 19th century by Luigi Belli, the monument is a solemn and elegant work, combining civic pride with universal admiration for the great Renaissance painter. The bronze statue depicts Raphael standing, in a composed yet inspired pose, his gaze directed toward the horizon and his hand seemingly grasping the insignia of his craft. The choice to depict him with simplicity and dignity, without excessive rhetoric, underscores the refinement of an artist who combined harmony and grace throughout his work. The base bears inscriptions and decorations that recall the universal importance of his work. The ensemble blends perfectly with its surroundings: from the top of the gardens, a breathtaking view opens up over the rooftops of Urbino and the rolling hills of the Marche region, creating an ideal dialogue between the artistic grandeur of the past and the natural beauty of the city. Visiting this monument is not just about admiring a valuable sculpture, but also about experiencing a moment of reflection on the profound bond between Urbino and Raphael, a symbol of a Renaissance that continues to shine brightly today. (Original) Il Monumento a Raffaello di Urbino, situato nei giardini antistanti la Fortezza Albornoz, è uno dei luoghi più suggestivi in cui la città rende omaggio al suo figlio più illustre. Realizzato alla fine dell’Ottocento da Luigi Belli, il monumento si presenta come un’opera solenne ed elegante, capace di fondere l’orgoglio civico con l’ammirazione universale per il grande pittore del Rinascimento. La statua bronzea raffigura Raffaello in piedi, in atteggiamento composto ma ispirato, con lo sguardo rivolto verso l’orizzonte e la mano che sembra stringere con naturalezza i segni del suo mestiere. La scelta di rappresentarlo con semplicità e dignità, senza eccessi retorici, sottolinea la raffinatezza di un artista che seppe unire armonia e grazia in tutta la sua produzione. Il basamento reca iscrizioni e decorazioni che richiamano l’importanza universale della sua opera. L’insieme si integra perfettamente con l’ambiente circostante: dalla sommità dei giardini si apre infatti una vista mozzafiato sui tetti di Urbino e sul paesaggio collinare marchigiano, creando un dialogo ideale tra la grandezza artistica del passato e la bellezza naturale della città. Visitare questo monumento non significa solo ammirare una scultura di pregio, ma anche vivere un momento di riflessione sul legame profondo tra Urbino e Raffaello, simbolo di un Rinascimento che ancora oggi continua a irradiare la sua luce.

(Translated by Google) The monument, located atop Urbino's highest hill, is surrounded by stone busts of other illustrious figures who were born here or passed through the ducal city. Near the monument is a small children's playground. (Original) Il monumento situato sul culmine del colle più alto della citta di Urbino è attorniato da busti lapidei di altre personalità illustri che qui hanno avuto i natali o hanno transitato nella città ducale. Vicino a monumento un piccolo parco giochi per bambini.

(Translated by Google) In one of those streets of Urbino, where walking on stone slabs is deeply evocative, you may happen to come across that wonder that the human eye does not know and cannot describe other than admiring in silence and discretion which is called the oratory of a brotherhood. In the circumstance, the traveller, finding himself before his gaze the building which houses the oratory of San Giuseppe, did nothing but enter the building, pay a cumulative ticket which also allowed him to visit the other oratory located on the same street, dedicated to the Baptist and climb a staircase to access the treasure chest in which the beauty, the enchantment, the magnificence of the works of art present in the rooms shone in all its splendor. Brandani's nativity scene, the church, the sacristy and the wedding chapel are the jewels that the oratory places available to the gaze of the traveler visitor who, admired by this sight, can only be delighted with joy. (Original) In una di quelle strade di Urbino, nelle quali reca profonda suggestione camminare sui lastroni di pietra, può capitare di imbattersi in quella meraviglia che occhio umano non sa e non può descrivere se non ammirare in silenzio e discrezione che viene denominata oratorio di una confraternita. Nella circostanza, il viandante, trovandosi davanti al suo sguardo il palazzo che ospita l'oratorio di San Giuseppe, non ha fatto altro che entrare nel palazzo, pagare un biglietto cumulativo che consentiva la visita anche dell'altro oratorio posto sulla medesima via, dedicato al Battista e salire una scalinata per accedere allo scrigno in cui la bellezza, l'incanto, la magnificenza delle opere d'arte presenti negli ambienti riluceva in tutto il suo splendore. Il presepe del Brandani, la chiesa, la sacristia e la cappella dello sposalizio sono i gioielli che l'oratorio pone a disposizione dello sguardo del viandante visitatore che ammirato a tale vista non può che compiacersi con gioia.

(Translated by Google) The oratories of San Giuseppe and San Giovanni are two precious treasures located a few meters from each other. Home to important confraternities of Urbino, they are certainly worth a visit, also considering the fact that the cumulative ticket costs 5 euros. (Original) Gli oratori di San Giuseppe e San Giovanni sono due scrigni preziosi che si trovano a pochi metri l'uno dall'altro. Sedi di importanti confraternite di Urbino, meritano senz'altro una visita, tenuto conto anche del fatto che il biglietto cumulativo costa 5 euro.

(Translated by Google) The Oratory of San Giuseppe, located a short distance from that of San Giovanni, is the seat of a confraternity built in 1515, thanks to the noble Albani family from Urbino, who made it one of the richest churches in Urbino. After climbing the entrance steps, on the right you enter the chapel of the Nativity scene created by Federico Brandani between 1545-50. The rectangular space is covered in pumice stone and tuff, whose scenic effect recreates the setting of a cave. The Nativity scene is made of plaster with life-size figures. In the representation, under a simple hut, the Virgin participates in the adoration of the shepherds, while the ox and the donkey, masterfully modeled, warm Baby Jesus. Sitting on the ground and slightly apart, is Saint Joseph absorbed in deep meditation. The church itself is of modest height, sumptuously decorated on the walls, in the vault and in the apse basin, by Carlo Roncalli. The high altar is made of fine marbles and, above it, there is a large marble aedicule, donated by Pope Clement XI in 1732. It has two columns in red porphyry, from the Pantheon, and in the center it houses a statue depicting Saint Joseph, from the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano. To the right of the altar there is a Madonna with Child. In the sacristy you can admire a wooden cabinet painted with landscape views by Alessio De Marchis, a splendid example of furniture from the Marche region. (Original) L’Oratorio di San Giuseppe, posto a poca distanza da quello di San Giovanni, è la sede di una confraternita edificata nel 1515, grazie alla nobile famiglia urbinate degli Albani, che la rese una delle chiese più ricche di Urbino. Saliti i gradini d’ingresso, a destra si entra nella cappellina del Presepe realizzato da Federico Brandani tra il 1545-50. L’ambiente rettangolare è rivestito di pietra pomice e tufo, il cui effetto scenico ricrea l’ambientazione di una grotta. Il Presepe è realizzato in gesso con figure a dimensione naturali. Nella rappresentazione, sotto una semplice capanna, la Vergine partecipa all’adorazione dei pastori, mentre il bue e l’asinello, magistralmente modellati, riscaldano Gesù Bambino. Seduto a terra e leggermente in disparte, sta San Giuseppe assorto in profonda meditazione. La chiesa vera e propria, è di modesta altezza, decorata fastosamente nelle pareti, nella volta e nel catino absidale, da Carlo Roncalli. L’altare maggiore è realizzato in marmi pregevoli e, sopra di esso, si trova una grande edicola marmorea, donata da Papa Clemente XI nel 1732. Essa presenta due colonne in porfido rosso, provenienti dal Pantheon, e al centro ospita una statua raffigurante San Giuseppe, proveniente dalla basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano. A destra dell’altare è presente una Madonna col Bambino . Nella sagrestia si ammira un armadio in legno dipinto con vedute paesaggistiche di Alessio De Marchis, splendido esempio di mobile marchigiano.

(Translated by Google) Worth a visit, along with the Oratory of San Giovanni. The nativity scene with life-size plaster statues from 1550 is incredible. (Original) Merita la visita assieme all' oratorio di san Giovanni. incredibile il presepe con statue di gesso a dimensioni reali del 1550

(Translated by Google) The Oratory, still today the seat of the San Giuseppe brotherhood, was built between 1,503 and 1,515 thanks to the financial support of Duke Guidobaldo da Montefeltro and his wife Elisabetta Gonzaga. Due to the strong humidity present in the rooms, the San Giuseppe Oratory was completely renovated between 1,682 and 1,689. The distance that separates the Oratory of San Giovanni Battista and the Oratory of San Giuseppe is reduced to a few meters and the necessary entrance ticket (5 euros per person well spent) is unique. Tip: leave your car at the convenient and economical Mercatale car park and prepare for a not too demanding uphill road. (Original) L’Oratorio, ancora oggi sede della confraternita San Giuseppe, venne costruito tra il 1.503 ed il 1.515 grazie al sostegno economico del duca Guidobaldo da Montefeltro e della moglie Elisabetta Gonzaga. A causa della forte umidità presente negli ambienti, l’Oratorio San Giuseppe venne completamente ristrutturato tra il 1.682 ed il 1.689. La distanza che separa l’Oratorio di San Giovanni Battista e l’Oratorio San Giuseppe si riduce a pochi metri ed il necessario biglietto d’ingresso (5 euro a persona ben spesi) è unico. Consiglio: lasciate l’auto al comodo ed economico Parcheggio Mercatale e preparatevi ad una non troppo impegnativa strada in salita.

(Translated by Google) This oratory, founded in the early 16th century, is located a stone's throw from that of San Giovanni Battista and can be visited with the same ticket costing €5. Less spectacular than the other, it nevertheless presents some very interesting works: primarily the life-size stucco nativity scene by Federico Brandani, but also the marble altar with the replica of Raphael's "Marriage of the Virgin" and the wooden wardrobe painting by Alessio De Marchis. The church itself is remarkable with its frescoes and decorations. (Original) Questo oratorio, fondato nei primi anni del XVI secolo, si trova a due passi da quello di San Giovanni Battista e può essere visitato con lo stesso biglietto del costo di 5€. Meno spettacolare dell'altro, presenta comunque delle opere molto interessanti: in primis il presepe in stucco a grandezza naturale di Federico Brandani, ma anche l'altare in marmo con la replica dello "Sposalizio della Vergine" di Raffaello e l'armadio in legno dipinto di Alessio De Marchis. La stessa chiesa é di per sé notevole con i suoi affreschi e le sue decorazioni.

(Translated by Google) Seat of the brotherhood of San Giuseppe since the 16th century, it is one of the most beautiful monuments in Urbino. The single-hall church has inside a white marble statue depicting Saint Joseph from the basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano and two red porphyry columns from the Pantheon. Worth seeing is Federico Brandani's nativity scene, depicting the nativity of Jesus Christ, created between 1545 and 1550, in stucco with life-size statues. A few steps from the oratory of San Giovanni Battista, with a single ticket you can admire these two masterpieces. (Original) Sede della confraternita di San Giuseppe già dal XVI secolo è uno dei monumenti più belli di Urbino. La chiesa ad aula unica ha al suo interno una statua in marmo bianco raffigurante San Giuseppe proveniente dalla basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano e due colonne in porfido rosso provenienti dal Pantheon. Da vedere il presepe di Federico Brandani, raffigurante la natività di Gesù Cristo, realizzato tra il 1545 e il 1550, in stucco con le statue a grandezza naturale. A pochi passi dall’oratorio di San Giovanni Battista, con un solo biglietto si possono ammirare questi due capolavori.

Nice church with some great fresco fragments.

(Translated by Google) Every time you enter the entrance of a church, you hold your breath for a few seconds and immerse yourself in the mystical religious aura of the place. Even on this occasion, visiting the church of San Francesco in Urbino, the traveller, after stopping to admire the architectural beauty of the portico for a few seconds, used the power of his visual gaze to capture what was precious inside. And there were some precious things, starting with the architectural structure, which, although dissimilar to the Romanesque style of the exterior, retains its intimate classicism. The interior is embellished by works of art of excellent artistic value, such as the magnificent canvas by Barocci, representing the pardon of Assisi and the equally splendid panel by Nelli da Gubbio, depicting an intense Madonna with child and then the beautiful seventeenth-century altarpiece by Maggeri, depicting the Holy Trinity and Saints and other paintings by authors who are unknown today but who were renowned when they were called to work by the client. In a chapel in the left transept, it is possible to admire a moving and exciting sandstone sculptural group, depicting piety, with the Madonna, Magdalene and Saint John the Baptist supporting the body of the dead Christ on their legs. The emotion does not want to leave, even when you leave the church and this is the strength and power contained in these sacred places. (Original) Ogni volta che si varca l'ingresso di una chiesa, si trattiene il respiro per qualche secondo e ci si immerge nell'aura mistico religiosa del luogo. Anche in questa circostanza, visitando la chiesa di San Francesco in Urbino, il viandante, dopo essersi trattenuto ad ammirare per qualche secondo la bellezza architettonica del portico, ha azionato la potenza dello sguardo visivo per catturare quel che di prezioso vi era nell'interno. E ve ne erano di cose preziose, a cominciare dalla struttura architettonica, che pur se dissimile dallo stile romanico dell'esterno, conserva una sua intima classicità. Impreziosiscono l'interno opere d'arte di eccellentissimo valore artistico, quali la magnifica tela del Barocci, rappresentante il perdono d'Assisi e l'altrettanto splendida tavola del Nelli da Gubbio, raffigurante un'intensa Madonna con bambino e poi la bellissima pala seicentesca del Maggeri, raffigurante la Santissima Trinità e Santi ed altri dipinti di autori che oggi sono misconosciuti ma che erano rinomati quando furono chiamati ad operare dalla committenza. In una cappella del transetto sinistro, è possibile ammirare un commovente ed emozionante gruppo scultoreo in pietra arenaria, raffigurante la pietà, con la Madonna, la Maddalena e San Giovanni Battista che sostengono sulle gambe il corpo del Cristo morto. L'emozione non vorrebbe andarsene, anche quando si esce dalla chiesa ed è questa la forza e la potenza racchiusa in questi luoghi sacri.

(Translated by Google) Though it is rich in history and art, like many other churches, it hasn't managed to convey much. It certainly contains some masterpieces, but they seem like isolated islands in an ancient church that tries to appear modern. (Original) Per quanto a pezzi sia ricca di storia e di arte, come tante altre chiese non è riuscita a raccontare così tanto. Di certo abbiamo al suo interno alcuni capolavori, ma sembrano isole sperdute in un'antica chiesa che vuole apparire moderna.

(Translated by Google) Urbino - Church of San Francesco. Built in the 14th century by the Friars Minor, the Church of San Francesco in Romanesque-Gothic style has been profoundly revised and modified over the years. The first building dates back to the second half of the fourteenth century, it was originally a Benedictine Abbey and from 1286 a Franciscan Temple. The interior of the Romanesque style church originally had a nave, later over the years a second was added and finally in 1742 a third. (Original) Urbino - Chiesa di San Francesco. Edificata nel XIV secolo dai Frati Minori, la Chiesa di San Francesco in stile romanico-gotico nel corso degli anni è stata profondamente rivista e modificata. La prima costruzione risale alla seconda metà del trecento, in origine era una Abbazia Benedettina e dal 1.286 Tempio Francescano. L’interno della chiesa in stile romanico era in origine ad una navata, in seguito nel corso degli anni ne venne aggiunta una seconda ed infine nel 1.742 una terza.

(Translated by Google) This church, located in the historic center of Urbino, is in classical style. The entrance is located under a beautiful portico; the latter is punctuated by a series of round arches with columns having Corinthian capitals. Internally it is divided into three naves, in the shape of a Latin cross. It is interesting to see the grandeur of the two canvases located on the sides of the transept; the light of the colors of these two paintings, with the light coming from the church, bring out all their brilliance. Worth visiting. (Original) Questa chiesa, situata nel pieno centro storico di Urbino, è in stile classicheggiante. L'entrata è situata sotto un bel porticato; quest'ultimo è scandito da una serie di archi a tutto sesto con colonne aventi capitelli corinzi. Internamente è divisa in tre navate, a croce latina. È interessante vedere l'imponenza Delle due tele situate ai lati del transetto; la luce dei colori di questi due quadri, con la luce proveniente della chiesa, fanno emergere tutta la loro brillantezza. Da visitare.

Not the biggest garden, but interesting. Has a large collection of Apothecary plants. Also, a quiet place away from the hustle & bustle of the main town. Worth a visit if you're passing by.

Beautiful and informative. My 2 year old son loved running around the narrow passageways and looking for little lizards. I learned so much about the history, origins, and medical uses of so many plants. Very lovely and highly recommended for all ages.

Not open now! If the inside is as nice as the outside, it is worth more than Average (3stars)

Thoroughly unpleasant racist spinster on reception with an obvious loathing for tourists. Whilst she was happy to let in an Italian couple with a dog, we were not granted entrance. Why they should employ such an anti social, vile and rude women, God only knows. Well not worth the visit!!

It is good, actually. Nice tubers.

Nice botanical garden. You can take beautiful pictures there and children love the information

beautfiul botanical garden, with descriptions available in english and italian.

(Translated by Google) The new area with the attractions could be better organized...perhaps by expanding the ticket booth and moving it outside and not inside the Kinderland attraction area. We went on August 15th, and since they've only recently opened, they'll definitely need some time to get used to it. (Original) La nuova zona con le attrazioni da organizzare un pò meglio...magari ampliando la zona casse e spostandola fuori e non all'interno della zona attrazione Kinderland. Siamo andati il 15 di Agosto e sicuramente essendo aperte da poco dovranno ancora fare un pò di rodaggio.

The crescia were delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. There are just a few places to sit inside with more seating out in the piazza. Even with a steady stream of customers, the wait time wasn’t long.

Ordered the Italian crepe with pork and eggplants. It tasted hot and fresh. Fast and friendly service.

This is one of the places i would like to grade above the maximal five. Tasty, local, made to order, reasonably priced, friendly.... street food... GREAT!!!! Local flat bread, re-baked with meat, cheeses, vegetables... sort of calzone, but very different. We also tried the square pizza and the house wine. Best was the Porcetta sandwich, but worth trying few

Excellent value overall. Crescia very good, ample meat… Not a tourist trap. Sympathetic staff.

The prosciutto was slices way too tick, so it was really hard to chew. I wouldn’t go back to this place.

Crescia was delicious and the owner was really kind. Perfect for a quick meal.

Top top!

What an absolutely terrible experience. I booked a table online, received a confirmation, and even got a reminder email on the same day. But when we arrived, we found the restaurant closed. When I called, they simply said over the phone that they couldn’t open due to a problem. But no notification, no cancellation, no apology—nothing. Unbelievable rudeness. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. I will definitely never choose this restaurant again—an absolute disaster.

I did not expect to find such a refined restaurant in a small town like Urbino. It is better than some of the $$$$ restaurants in Milan and New York. I love how much thoughts and passion the chef puts into each dish. The bread is homemade and smells very aromatic. The appetizer is marinated tuna with mullet roe, artichoke, straciatella cheese, and almond. Every ingredient is fresh including the almond which adds a much needed crunch to the dish. Each ingredient is true to its flavor and combines well together. The salad has a wide varieties of ingredients. Very nutritious. I am very glad it is not a plain lettuce with carrot shreds and cucumbers. The branzini has very interesting flavor. The sauce is creative with mixed herbs. It would be better if the fish skin were crispier.

Exactly the restaurant you hope to find when traveling. Incredible local dishes in a beautiful setting with great service. The dishes were perfectly prepared. A can’t miss is the regional cheese and salumi. Also, the tagliatelle with shaved truffles. Be sure to ask for wine recommendations - so many great local options on the list.

The food is nice but when I ordered wine by the glass I got the amount showed in the picture. And I just feel like it is way less amount I normally get when I order wine “by the glass.” I am not sure maybe I am wrong but it just doesn’t feel nice when I asked the waiter and he got annoyed and pointed at the glass and asked me “didn’t you order a glass?” It wasn’t a good experience.

We ate here last night. Not on the main drag but really worth seeking out if you like good food prepared by someone who really knows what he is doing. We had the fish-based 3 course set menu at €45 per head. Not cheap but this was Michelin-starred cooking quality. Not standard local dishes. Perhaps the best fish pasta dish I have ever eaten. He deserves to do well. For €60 or so a head we had a meal which bears comparison with well-known restaurants in London, Paris or Milan. And the building and team are on the same level. A jewel. Very highly recommended.

We took the tasting menu with wine. Very friendly and good service. Loved the vitello tonnato and tortelli.

Please, please, please don't go to this place. The owner (or the chef, I'm not sure) is a racist. As soon as he saw me, he shook his head and said 'no, no, no, not him, tell him to go away'. He thought I didn't speak Italian, but I do. The restaurant was otherwise empty -- as most restaurants were in Urbino, in the middle of a thunderstorm. These establishments should not get away with such things.

Excellent pizza and pasta restaurant - recommended to us by our host. We loved the food and the atmosphere. It’s very popular I’d suggest booking in advance if you can.

The food was delicious but a little dry , we got it as takeaway because there was no room . The staff wasnt that friendly or welcoming but they were fine

Extremely long waiting times. Waited about an hour someone to take the order. Bathroom did not work at all. Very rude staff. Do not recommend.

Ladies and gentlemen the best Crescia ever had in my life! Handmade, you can see when they prepare your best meal in Urbino.

We ordered a crescia as entre and ravioli with casciotta fondue and gnocchi. In general not too bad but I am not sure that the ravioli were really homemade, therefore I doubt about the gnocchi too. The lady at the counter, who is also the owner I suppose, was really unpleasant and I found it very expensive (we paid 60€ in total).

The service was welcoming, great food indeed!

If you are in Urbino you have absolutely to try "crescia sfogliata" è a typical dish that is done in this town. This is the right place for a crescia or a beer or a pizza. There are many other dishes too. Perfect spot with easy parking.

Very delicious pasta with truffle cream. Friendly and fast service. Nice ambiance. I would recommend !

Perfect dinner in this beautiful town. The staff was so friendly. And while it is an upscale place, they were very family friendly and helpful with the toddler we had in tow. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. For €23, I had tagliatelle ragu and a plate of grilled sausages and rosemary potatoes - I couldn't eat it all. And my friend thoroughly enjoyed her pasta with local truffles and mushrooms. Our server, Beatrice, was absolutely lovely and very attentive. Highly recommend.

If you are chasing a taste of Urbino worry excellent service then this is an excellent place to start. The service and assistance, for non Italian speaking visitors helps tremendously. We ate here 3 times during our stay and it was wonderful. You will not go wrong here.

FANTASTIC SERVICE AND OUTSTANDING FOOD with beautiful old town views.

Pay attention to the hidden price on your bill, e.g.Waiter drops a pice of bread on floor then bring a new one (3€ more), truffle dish if shared with friend (3€ more), these price they won’t tell you in advance

Good outdoor atmosphere, good service. But the food is just so so.

Very nice place with great food and the personel is the best. 😊

Although we came in the busy harvest season and the owner was busy on the land his son prepared a nice 6 wine tasting session for us. Great service and hospitality, we really enjoyed it. Really worth the drive there, the area/surroundings are also beautiful.

Great visit with good whites and red. The family was very hospitable and friendly. Highly recommended the tasting

Wonderful wines, lovely view and location and pleasant hospitality

Founded in the eighteenth century, it hosts an incredible variety of plants and flowers, and is perfect for a quiet walk, in a relaxing and well-kept environment. It is an ideal place for those seeking a moment of peace away from the most crowded tourism.

In short, Urbino is a destination that combines culture, nature and beauty in a unique way. A city to live calmly, allowing yourself to be surprised at every corner.

The region of origin of this obelisk is here: XQ89+954 Basyoun, Ägypten

(Translated by Google) Its historical and cultural importance goes beyond aesthetics, although that is precisely the reason why it was recovered in Rome, transferred and erected in this square in 1700. It is an original Egyptian obelisk, from 500 BC, brought to Italy by the Roman imperial army after the conquest of the territories of North Africa. (Original) La sua importanza storico culturale supera l'estetica, sebbene sia proprio quello il motivo per cui è stato recuperato a Roma, trasferito ed eretto in questa piazza nel 1700.

(Translated by Google) The Urbino obelisk is located in Piazza Rinascimento in the historic center of the city of Urbino where the main monuments stand such as: The Ducal Palace of Duke Federico da Montefeltro, the Cathedral of the Santissima Annunziata and the Church of San Domenico. The obelisk, rather small in size, is made up of five superimposed blocks of red granite and dates back to the time of Hofra or Apries (twenty-sixth dynasty, 558-568 BC).
