Cortile di palazzo Ducale di Urbino, Renaissance courtyard in Urbino, Italy
The courtyard displays a geometric design with porticos, travertine columns, and harmonious proportions that exemplify Renaissance architectural principles.
Federico da Montefeltro commissioned architect Luciano Laurana to design this central courtyard during the palace construction between 1454 and 1472.
The courtyard stands as a testament to Renaissance design principles, serving as a central meeting point for nobles and intellectuals of the 15th century.
