Urbino Cathedral

Under the patronage of Count Federico da Montefeltro, it was rebuilt in the 15th century, based on a design attributed to Francesco di Giorgio Martini.

Valadier's Neoclassical interior is on a Latin cross groundplan and has a central nave between two side aisles, under a barrel vaulted roof.

As to works of art, the cathedral contains two canvases by Federico Barocci, a Saint Sebastian in the north aisle, and a Last Supper in the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament.

On the pendentives of the cupola are depicted the Four Evangelists (18th century), possibly by Domenico Corvi and Giuseppe Cades.

The humanist scholar and historian Polydore Vergil died in Urbino in 1555, and was buried in the cathedral, in the chapel of St Andrew which he himself had endowed.
