The Ducal Palace of Camerino is among the notable buildings of civil architecture built by the Da Varano family, and is now home to the University. It has an original section, which was rebuilt in the late fourteenth century. It was extended and completed in the mid-to-late fifteenth century in the Renaissance style. The whole building is centred around a wonderful square-porticoed courtyard accessed by several rooms, including the Sala degli Sposi (“hall of the newlyweds”) with fifteenth century frescoes.
