Barco Ducale, Renaissance hunting villa in Urbania, Italy
The Barco Ducale stands near the Metauro River, featuring a Latin cross church at the center of an extensive building that houses former convent spaces.
Federico da Montefeltro established this hunting lodge in 1465, with Francesco di Giorgio Martini contributing to the design of several architectural elements.
The interior displays a 16th-century wooden crucifix above the main altar, accompanied by stone portals leading to the wooden choir behind.
The structure now functions as a museum and ceramic workshop center, requiring visitors to contact the Urbania Tourist Office for access arrangements.
A mile-long river path called Sentiero del Duca connects the villa to the Ducal Palace, following the route once traveled by boats carrying knights and ladies.
