Palazzo Trinci

Palazzo Trinci is a medieval palace in Foligno featuring three stories arranged around a vaulted courtyard at its center. The rooms inside display painted walls showing historical figures and educational subjects, with a mix of stone construction and architectural styles from different periods.

The Trinci family built this palace between 1389 and 1407 as their family residence while ruling Foligno. After their power ended in 1439, the building passed into the hands of papal representatives who used it as their seat of government.

The Hall of Liberal Arts presents frescoes illustrating seven educational disciplines, with each stage of learning connected to planetary influences.

The palace is arranged in multiple rooms that flow from one to the next, making it easy to navigate through the different sections. Plan to spend time looking at the painted walls and details, as there is much to notice in each space.

A covered passageway connects this building directly to the cathedral next door, preserving stone details from the 15th century. This hidden route was originally built for the ruling family to use and remains an unusual feature in the city's medieval layout.
