Urbino - Palazzo Ducale

The Palazzo Ducale, opposite the cathedral in Urbino, built by the Dalmatian architect Luciano da Laurana from 1465 onwards, is the most perfectly preserved example of an Italian princely residence of the period. Notable features are the colonnaded courtyard (c. 1470) and the staircase.
