Urbania Historic Center

Highlight • Historical Site

Born as a Guelph village in the Middle Ages, it was destroyed by the Ghibellines of Urbino in 1227. Pope Martin V had the village rebuilt around the abbey where the cathedral now stands, commissioning the French prelate Durand (hence the old name of Casteldurante) for the construction. The lordship was entrusted to the powerful Brancaleoni family. The palace of the same name, after the passage of power into the hands of the Montefeltro of Urbino, and then of the Della Rovere, was renovated by architects of the time, including Bramante, to house the Palazzo Ducale. Casteldurante was also famous for its ceramics. In the square stands the Theater dedicated to Bramante, born in nearby Fermignano.

Urbania

Highlight • Settlement

Urbania is a small community in the Metauro Valley, known for its denim production. Therefore, the name "Valley of the Jeans" or "Blue Valley" was missed here. Since you most likely do not wear jeans, but tight cycling BIBs, a visit to the city center might be more exciting for you, where you can enjoy a coffee or strengthen yourself. If you want to eat: The area is known for its truffles. But to make sure you do not get too big a shock when you pay, you better order the black truffle ("scorzone"), not the white ones. ;)

Church of the Dead of Urbania

Highlight • Religious Site

A somewhat particular and macabre church, inside there are 18 perfectly preserved mummies dating back to the exhumations carried out in 1804 after the edict of Saint Claud signed by Napoleon. Their story is very interesting, stop by for a visit!

Piobbico

Highlight • Settlement

Piobbico is a beautiful town in the province of Pesaro Urbino with about 1800 inhabitants. It is located in a valley between Monte Nerone and Monte Montiego and stands right at the confluence of two rivers: the Biscubio and the Candigliano. Piobbico is also known as the Land of the Ugly, due to the National Association of the Ugly, founded at the end of the 19th century to allow young women from Piobbico to find a husband; it currently has about 30,000 members and every year, on the first Sunday of September, the World Festival of the Ugly takes place. The festival is famous throughout central Italy and attracts a very large number of people each year.
