History
Urbino is the ancient Urbinum Mataurense , a Roman
municipium . Urbino was held by the
Ostrogoths from the late 5th century, but was captured by
Belisarius (538). Under
Pepin the Short it became part of the
pontifical domain .
Circa 590 it was established as Diocese of Urbino, on reassigned territory from the suppressed
Diocese of Sant'Angelo in Vado .
On 8 March 1401, it lost territory to establish the
Abbacy nullius of San Cristoforo di Castel Durante
On 7 July 1563, it was promoted as Metropolitan Archdiocese of Urbino by
Pope Pius IV , initially with six suffragan sees:
Diocese of Cagli ,
Diocese of Sinigaglia ,
Diocese of Pesaro ,
diocese of Fossombrone ,
Diocese of Montefeltro and
Diocese of Gubbio ; later were added :
diocese of S. Angelo in Vado and
Diocese of Pergola .
On 20 October 1636, it lost territory to its suffragan Diocese of Sant'Angelo in Vado
On 30 September 1986, it was renamed as Archdiocese of Urbino–Urbania–Sant’Angelo in Vado/Urbinaten(sis)–Urbanien(sis)–Sancti Angeli in Vado (Latin), having gained territory from the suppressed
Diocese of Urbania and Sant'Angelo in Vado , whose titles its adopted, turning its cathedral into

metropolitan see , becoming part of the
ecclesiastical province of the Metropolitan
