Ducal Palace Urbino - National Gallery of the Marche

Castles & Country Houses, Museums & Art Centres
The Ducal Palace, built for the extraordinary Renaissance figure, duke Federico da Montefeltro (1422 – 1482), is home to National Gallery of the Marche, as well as the Archaeological and Stone Museum.

The collection of the Gallery, exhibited on the first and second floor, preserves a vast patrimony of works of art including paintings and sculptures from the XIII to the XVIII century, ceramics, coins, drawings and some furnishings

The museum’s international prestige is linked to the absolute masterpieces of the Renaissance that are part of its 15th-century core, such as the “Flagellation”, the “Madonna of Senigallia” (Piero della Francesca) the “Ideal City” (central-Italian painter, previously attributed to L. Laurana), and the “Portrait of a Gentlewoman” known as “La Muta” (Raphael).
