The Urbino Duomo, rebuilt in the late 18th century on medieval foundations, embodies Renaissance and Baroque layers with its austere façade and dome anchoring the hilltop town. This drawing places the duomo among tightly packed houses on the slope, showing how sacred and domestic spaces interlock. Bold shadows reduce complex volumes to confident planes that convey light, and the duomo’s dominance while preserving the dwellings’ intimate scale. The result is a study of hierarchy and coexistence, making the architectural dialogue immediately legible.
