Palazzo dei Priori (Perugia)

Il Palazzo dei Priori, o comunale, è uno dei migliori esempi d'Italia di palazzo pubblico dell'età comunale. Sorge nella centrale Piazza IV Novembre a Perugia, in Umbria. Si estende lungo Corso Vannucci fino a via Boncambi. È ancora oggi sede di parte del Municipio e, al terzo piano, della Galleria nazionale dell'Umbria. Deve il suo nome ai Priori, la massima autorità politica al governo della città in epoca medievale.
