Urbania, Medieval commune in Pesaro and Urbino Province, Italy

The municipality of Urbania stands at 273 meters elevation near the Metauro River, surrounded by the rolling hills of the Marche region.

Originally named Casteldurante, the settlement changed its name to Urbania in 1636 to honor Pope Urban VIII when it became part of the Papal States.

The Ducal Palace houses a museum containing rare globes created by scientist Gerardus Mercator between 1541 and 1551, along with regional artifacts.

The Chiesa dei Morti displays 18 natural mummies from the Middle Ages and Renaissance period, making it an educational destination for researchers.

The town received a Bronze Medal for Military Valor following World War II due to its citizens' participation in resistance activities.
