Must-see attractions
Nobile Collegio del Cambio
Perugia
　　Seat of Perugia's Moneychanger's Guild between 1452 and 1457, the extravagantly adorned Nobile Collegio del Cambio has three rooms: the Sala dei Legisti (Jurists' Hall), with 17th-century wooden stalls carved by Giampiero Zuccari; the Sala dell’Udienza (Audience Chamber), with inlaid wooden furniture and outstanding Renaissance frescoes by Perugino; and the...
Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo
Perugia
　　Also known as the Chiesa or Tempio di Sant'Angelo, this 5th-century Romanesque church is one of the oldest in Italy (and the most appealing in Perugia). It was first built over an earlier Roman temple – hence the circular form and recycled columns in the interior – but it has...
Palazzo dei Priori
Perugia
　　Flanking Corso Vannucci, this Gothic palace, constructed between the 13th and 14th centuries, is architecturally striking with its tripartite windows, ornamental portal and fortress-like crenellations. It was formerly the headquarters of the local magistracy, but now houses the city's main art gallery, the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria, and a series of...
Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria
Perugia
　　Umbria's foremost art gallery is housed in Palazzo dei Priori on Perugia's main strip. Its collection, chronologically displayed over 40 rooms, is one of central Italy's finest, numbering more than 3000 works, ranging from Byzantine-inspired 13th-century paintings to Gothic works by Gentile da Fabriano and Renaissance masterpieces by home-town heroes...
Fontana Maggiore
Perugia
　　The centrepiece of Piazza IV Novembre, the delicate pink-and-white marble Fontana Maggiore was designed by Fra Bevignate and built by father-and-son team Nicola and Giovanni Pisano between 1275 and 1278. Some 50 bas-reliefs and 24 statues grace the two-tier polygonal basin, representing scenes from the Old Testament, the founding of...
Materia Ceramica Taticchi
Perugia
　　Pop into this small artisanal workshop and you'll find modern ceramicist Maria Antonietta Taticchi hard at work on her contemporary designs, often featuring handpainted Umbrian and Perugian landscapes. She also incorporates ceramics into original accessories and jewellery. ...
Giardini Carducci
Perugia
　　At the southern end of Corso Vannucci is this tiny park, with expansive views across the city's rooftops to the countryside and cypress-cloaked hills beyond. It stands atop a once-massive 16th-century fortress know as the Rocca Paolina. ...
Cattedrale di San Lorenzo
Perugia
　　Lording it over Piazza IV Novembre is Perugia's stark medieval cathedral. A church has stood here since the 900s, but the version you see today was begun in 1345 from designs created by Fra Bevignate. Building continued until 1587, although the main facade was never completed. Inside you'll find dramatic...
Cattedrale e Abbazia di San Pietro
Perugia
　　South of the town centre, past the Porta di San Pietro, is this atmospheric 10th-century basilica complex. The basilica, overlooked by a landmark bell tower, is stunning inside, with opulent displays of gilt and marble and some wonderful works of art, including a Pietà (a painting of the dead Christ...
Bettini Deruta
Perugia
　　This old-fashioned, handle-with-care shop showcases high-quality majolica ceramics. Their wares hail from Deruta, a nearby town that has been renowned for its ceramic production since the 15th century. You'll find colourful butter and olive-oil holders, decorative plates, espresso sets, coffee mugs and much more besides. ...
Piazza IV Novembre
Perugia
　　In Perugia all roads seem to lead to Piazza IV Novembre. This historic square, flanked by Palazzo dei Priori and the Cattedrale, has been at the heart of civic life since it was the Roman forum and later the political and geographic centre of the medieval city. Nowadays, people from...
Casa del Cioccolato Perugina
Perugia
　　To visit the Wonka-esque world of Perugian chocolate, sign up for a 1¼-hour guided tour (in Italian or English, times vary) of the House of Chocolate. After visiting the museum, you'll wend your way through an enclosed sky bridge, watching as the white-outfitted Oompa Loompas, er, factory workers, go about...
