General presentation
Urbino and inland Marche
Central Italy of Renaissance palaces, hill villages, gorges, caves and less frequent landscapes.
To understand what Urbino and Marches interieurs are, you have to look at the Ducal Palace of Urbino, Urbino and Gorges du Furlo. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by urban life, heritage, countryside and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage
Ducal Palace of Urbino
The Ducal Palace Urbino It is read as an architecture of power that gradually opens up to discovery. Courts and circulations reveal a discreet scenography, very effective in understanding the symbolic function of the place. A winning visit when taking the time of detail.
Nature
Gorges du Furlo
The gorges of the Furlo combine rock, water and covered trajectories, with a physical experience that changes at every step. The play of light in narrow passages gives a continuous feeling of intensity. Perfect for a natural walk without fireworks.
Cave
Frasassi Caves
Frasassi's caves plunge into an underground world of stalactites, white concretions and halls with almost unreal volumes. The furnished light reveals the draperies of rock without removing the humidity or freshness of the place; the route is well suited to travellers attracted by spectacular but guided natural landscapes.
Place
Gradara
Gradara stands out for a clear historical setting, views of its structures and a preserved village atmosphere. The walk around the site allows you to see the relationship between architecture and rural landscape around. A useful stop for a more carpented Marchigiano route.
