The City of Ceramics, Urbania, is divided into four districts: Porta Parco, Porta Cella, Porta Vecchia, and Porta Nuova. Its historic center boasts buildings from various eras, which tell the story.
The Palazzo Ducale was an essential building between the 15th and 16th centuries. It houses the Civic Museum, the Library, and the Picture Gallery. In the Civic Museum, you can admire splendid collections of majolica.
The crypt of the Church of the Dead is fascinating, which houses the Cemetery of the Mummies, 18 bodies dating back to 1600.
The Church of the Holy Spirit, also known as the Votive Temple of the bombing, is worth a visit, as it commemorates the victims of the bombing of 1944.
Strolling along the medieval streets is truly impressive. Each corner shows a panoramic view, a historic building, an ancient church, and many craft shops of majolica decorated according to the Renaissance tradition. Furthermore, from the old walls, you can see the Metauro loop.
Worthy of note is the sixteenth-century Palazzo Comunale with its Bell Tower and the nineteenth-century Teatro Bramante with its elegant hall with boxes.
Urbania is a small city of art, rich in traditions, and it would be exciting to visit it for the Feast of the Befana, which arouses international interest.
