Cassero di Porta Sant'Angelo

Highlight • Historical Site

the Cassero di Porta Sant'Angelo is a really impressive city gate just below the church of San Michele Arcangelo.
Definitely worth walking the route out of the city, taking the VIA ACQVEDOTTO that directly connects the center of Perugia with this part of the city.

Tempietto of San Michele Arcangelo (Perugia)

Highlight • Religious Site

Ancient early Christian church with a circular plan, surrounded by a small lawn. It is a very suggestive place, it remains a little off the tourist track, but the walk is worthwhile both for the particular structure of the church and for the feeling of peace and meditation that it transmits.

Hall of the Notaries, Palace of the Priors

Highlight • Historical Site

Palazzo dei Priori, or municipal, is one of the best examples in Italy of a public building from the municipal age. It is located in the central Piazza IV Novembre in Perugia, Umbria. It extends along Corso Vannucci up to via Boncambi. It is still home to part of the Town Hall and, on the third floor, the National Gallery of Umbria. It owes its name to the Priors, the highest political authority governing the city in medieval times.

Rocca Paolina — The Underground City

Highlight • Historical Site

The Rocca Paolina was a Renaissance fortress in Perugia, built between 1540 and 1543 for Pope Paul III. It was built according to designs by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger.
A mysterious series of tunnels gives a premature glimpse of Perugia's nooks and crannies. The jumble of cobbled streets and arched stairwells is essentially all that remains of a once-imposing fortress.

Today these arched foundations are part of a popular route that takes visitors from Piazza Partigiani into the city. Riding through the walls on the many escalators (scale mobili) is a typical urban experience. It feels like entering a lost world, with secret doors that reveal one shop or another for art exhibitions.

Piazza IV Novembre and Fontana Maggiore

Highlight • Historical Site

The true center of the city is here, in Piazza IV Novembre: a symbolic, cultural, political and religious place that has been the meeting point between people, activities and important events for centuries. The medieval architecture and the splendid decorative details, with their bright and warm colors, are what can be admired at the Palazzo dei Priori, the Fontana Maggiore and the Duomo.

Palace of the Priors, Perugia

Highlight • Historical Site

The Palazzo dei Priori (Priority Palace) contains a number of interesting rooms and rooms. The building was built in the 16th century mainly of local travertine and white and red stone from the neighboring Bettona.
The assembly hall of the city superiors ('Sala dei Priori' and 'Sala dei Notari') from 1293 has with its eight Schwibbögen a very unusual form. Schwibbögen are Überfangbögen, which are transverse to the main direction of a room and stabilize the two opposing walls against each other.
The 15th century Collegio della Mercanzia has an unusual wood paneling covering the walls and the ceiling. Such equipment is usually known only from the northern, colder countries.
The Audience Hall ('Sala dell' Udienza ') of the Collegio del Cambio is one of the finest and best-preserved secular interiors, dating from 1452. It is located in the western part of the palace. In the Middle Ages, a big trading city like Perugia was a way to exchange the different currencies that met here. The 1496-1500 created wall and ceiling paintings come from Perugino and possibly even by his student Raffael.
