In the heart of the historic center, the Sala dei Notari is a prestigious historic space located within the Palazzo dei Priori in Piazza IV Novembre. Originally the people's hall in the 13th century, it became the seat of the Arte dei Notai in 1582. It is characterized by Romanesque vaults, frescoes by the Maestro del Farneto and Matteo Tassi, and hosts events, conferences, and concerts.

The oldest information we have about the locality of Petrignano dates back to around the year 1000. The current name of the town derives from "Petronianum" (meaning "property of Saint Peter"). In the 16th century, after one of the many destructions of the bridge, there was only a boat to ferry the inhabitants from one bank to the other of the river. Starting in 1957, with the "Special Law for Assisi" (which ensured special relief for companies that moved to this area), industries of national importance were established here.

San Bevignate is a deconsecrated church located in Perugia, on Via Enrico dal Pozzo. The architectural complex is linked to the history of the Templars, and it is one of the best-preserved testimonies of the Order of the Knights Templar.

In the historic center, the ancient medieval Castle preserves beautiful 13th-century walls and a mighty keep. Inside the Castle, you can admire the church of San Sebastiano, once an Oratory, renovated in the 16th century. Outside the Castle is the small church of the Madonna di Foce, built between 1634 and 1636, with a large terracotta rose window and, along the road, the modern Parish church of Santa Maria Assunta with polychrome stained glass windows.

The church consecrated to Santa Maria Assunta with an adjoining convent dominates the square of Monteluce and the entire neighborhood. It is known to everyone in the city because the entire complex was part of the area of the city where the city hospital was located. The church was home to the oldest community of Poor Clares "Damianite" who settled here in the 13th century. During the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, following donations, the Monastery of Santa Maria di Monteluce was the richest and most prestigious female monastery in the city. The current facade of the church, covered with pink marble tiles within white frames, dates back to 1451, the year of its restoration. The interior has a single nave with a round vault resting on twelve pillars. In the side chapels is an important cycle of frescoes of Perugian Mannerism. It is a place from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the historic center of Perugia.

As soon as you cross the entrance threshold, you will immediately be captivated by the beauty that the architecture of the room exudes, perhaps thanks to the numerous round arches, exactly eight in total, or because it is entirely decorated with paintings. Unfortunately, very few remains of the original frescoes, dating back to 1200 or 1300, remain, but the precious and elegant craftsmanship, probably attributable to the so-called Maestro del Farneto, is still clearly visible. In many places the ancient frescoes were integrated by Matteo Tassi in 1885, in others the artist took over the pictorial decoration completely. The walls around the room mainly depict stories and legends, with the impression of coats of arms of the various municipal offices, including the Mayor, the People's Captain and even the coat of arms of Braccio di Fortebraccio.
