Originally an Umbrian settlement, it was later one of the main Etruscan cities, before being taken by the Romans. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Ostrogoths conquered the city, which was later ruled by the Byzantines and the Papal States. In the Late Middle Ages, Perugia was a free <em>comune<\/em> and then a <em>signoria<\/em>, and it hosted five papal conclaves. Despite several wars, it remained under papal rule until the 19th century, when it became part of Italy. Perugia is now known for its rich artistic heritage and its contributions to the Renaissance, but also as an university town.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #8ed1fc; border-radius: 0%; background-color: inherit; \" class=\"ub-styled-box ub-bordered-box wp-block-ub-styled-box\" id=\"ub-styled-box-adcfd5e2-3f73-43ca-a8fd-f253a8c24b64\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\" id=\"ub-styled-box-bordered-content-3061f411-05f3-4343-93d1-d8edcda43fe5\">Places to see in Perugia<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-table-of-contents\"><ul><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#palazzo-dei-priori\">\u272a Palazzo dei Priori<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#perugia-cathedral\">\u272a Perugia Cathedral<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#national-archaeological-museum-of-umbria\">\u272a National Archaeological Museum of Umbria<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#piazza-iv-novembre\">Piazza IV Novembre<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#church-of-san-filippo-neri\">Church of San Filippo Neri<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#palazzo-sorbello\">Palazzo Sorbello<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#chapel-of-san-severo\">Chapel of San Severo<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#etruscan-walls-of-perugia\">Etruscan Walls of Perugia<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#rocca-paolina\">Rocca Paolina<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#basilica-of-san-domenico\">Basilica of San Domenico<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#basilica-of-san-pietro\">Basilica of San Pietro<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#oratory-of-san-bernardino\">Oratory of San Bernardino<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#church-of-san-michele-arcangelo\">Church of San Michele Arcangelo<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#medieval-walls-of-perugia\">Medieval Walls of Perugia<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#hypogeum-of-the-volumnus-family\">Hypogeum of the Volumnus Family<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"aioseo-toc-item\" href=\"#casa-del-cioccolato-perugina\">Casa del Cioccolato Perugina<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"palazzo-dei-priori\"><strong>\u272a Palazzo dei Priori<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Palazzo dei Priori is a Gothic palace built in Perugia between the 13th and 15th century, and for centuries it served as seat of the local government.
