On the morning of 15 Nov. we awoke early , dressed and went down stairs for a quick breakfast before heading off to visit Urbino and the palazzo Ducale di Urbino- National Museum of Marche.

The most impressive sights here I found to be the highly detailed inlaid wooden artwork  most of which were in the Duke's private study, a room only about 10' X 10'. Below are some examples:

Another very impressive room was decorated with the below tapestries which were approximately 12 feet high and 20 feet long.
