The walled city of Urbino

So the first stop was to the town of Ancona. My friend and I took a tour to the walled city of Urbino, and 1.5 hours each way. It was an interesting drive. We got away from the tourist part of town and got to see some of the country side. It was a very nice change. The town was very pretty and we went into the castle and then to a viewing platform to get panoramic shots of the city.

I realized that I don’t know much about Italian history. I don’t know anything after the Romans (and I don’t know that well either) but it was interesting to learn about some of it. I didn’t realize how powerful the city of Venice was in its heyday.
