Monastero di Santa Chiara, Renaissance monastery in Urbino, Italy.
The monastery features classic Renaissance architectural elements with arched windows, decorative motifs, and symmetrical courtyards within its stone walls.
Duke Federico III's first wife Gentile Brancaleoni retired to this monastery in 1457, establishing its connection with the noble Montefeltro family.
The monastery transformed from a religious institution to an educational facility, now housing the Higher Institute for Artistic Industries of Urbino.
The building underwent extensive restoration work from 2007 to 2011, preserving original architectural elements while adapting spaces for modern use.
Francesco di Giorgio Martini designed the monastery's reconstruction in the 1480s at the request of Elisabetta da Montefeltro following her husband's death.
