Urbino - Cathedral

In the center of Urbino is the Piazza della Repubblica, the market square. From here Via Vittorio Veneto leads up to the Piazza Duca Federico, on the north side of which stands the cathedral, rebuilt in 1801 after the destruction of an earlier church by an earthquake in 1789. It contains a number of fine paintings, including in particular works by Federigo Barocci. In the third chapel in the crypt (entered from outside the church, under the arcades to the left) is a marble figure of the dead Christ by Giovanni Bandini.
