Where Should I go: Segovia or Urbino?
Segovia
Segovia is a historic town of Spain, predating the Roman Empire to a time of Celtic possession. The town is also capital of a province of the same name, and was declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985 for its multitude of historic structures, including a Roman aqueduct, Gothic cathedral, and royal palace.
Urbino
Located in central Italy, Urbino is a remote and less-traveled walled town, tucked away in the hills of Le Marche. Under the ambitious and honorable rule of Duke Federico da Montefeltro in 1444 to 1482, Urbino thrived in culture because the Duke so deeply appreciated art and literature. Known as one of the original sites of Renaissance culture in the 15th century, Urbino experienced a large influx of scholars and artists. Today, Urbino is still known as the pinnacle of Renaissance art and architecture.
