Between 1452 and 1457, this wing of Palazzo dei Priori was given to the Moneychangers’ Guild. This is where, around 1500, Pietro Vannucci, better known as the Perugino, frescoed the Sala dell’Udienza (Audience Chamber), one of Perugia’s most famous Renaissance monuments. The cycle of paintings, ordered by the humanist Francesco Maturanzio, celebrates the harmony between classic culture and the Christian faith.

Next to it is the San Giovanni Battista chapel frescoed by Giannicola di Paolo (1513-1528). The wooden high-backed chairs of the entrance hall, where the Jurists’ Society met, are by Gianpietro Zuccari and assistants (1615-21).
