The fortezza is more of a scovola gathering place, than a historic place of Urbino. The best views of the city are probably from here. Nice views of neighboring hills too.

This is the place where students and family with kids (there is one of the few playgrounds in Urbino) go in Spring-Summer-Autumn to enjoy a wonderful view of Urbino and a place to relax, read and drink/eat small snacks. The view is worth the steep uphill walk even though the Fortezza itself is not particularly well maintained and access is rather limited (the fortress not the parc) you'll enjoy it a lot. If it's summer and you want a cooler place to be, go to the Monumento di Raffaello. Wind helps making the place cooler.

The fortess is not much special, it was not even open when we visited it, but the view over urbino is certainly worth the climb.

Cardinal Albornoz was responsible for the construction of many fortresses,built NOT to protect the citizens of the towns,but to dominate them! When possible they were battered down, leaving the stones littered on the hilltops,as in this case. The best thing here is the panoramic view for photographs of a beautiful town.

We paid to enter the fortress, Very,very little to see inside and the view from the top was barely an improvement on the view from the park outside. A complete waste of money.

The fortress is named after the Spanish cardinal Gil Alvarez Carillo de Albornoz. However, the fortress was built by his successor Angelico Grimoard in 1367-1371. Injustice happens often in history. Fortress is not important for tourists because of the military component. The fortress is located at the highest point -485 meters and the best views of Urbino open from here. So arriving in Urbino we turned left and immediately went here.

Our B&B Albornoz was located 50m away from the entrance to the Fortezza grounds, so we would often drop by to enjoy the views over Urbino and the valley below (wonderful play of light with passing clouds) from the garden area. The fortezza itself seemed to be closed.

The fort can be easily reached by going up Via Raphael away from Piazza Rebulica and Piazza Ducal. Up the hill. After exiting the gate, turn left. Continue along the wall and you will see signs for the fort. You have to climb the steps to reach the fort. Did not go in the fort itself as it was closed but the area has great views looking down on Urbino. Also nice shady benches to sit and rest. There is also a cafe.

Once built to protect it, the fortress still stands his above the city, offering a wonderful view from the gardens that surround it. In summer the place hosts country fairs and concerts. A pleasant stop when visiting Urbino. Sit on a bench or on the grass and admire the harmoniously clustered buildings below you, and the gentle hills surrounding the beautiful Renaissance city.

You can take in the surrounding valley almost at 360°, the little hamlets, the larger villages, the gently rolling hills in this amazing park scattered with modern sculptures and dominated by the medieval Albornoz stronghold.

Per salire ad ammirare il panorama dalla fortezza bisogna pagare un biglietto?
Written September 1, 2020
Per entrare nel parco per il panorama l’ingresso è libero. Per entrare nella fortezza, che è un museo, immagino ci sia un biglietto da pagare.
