Palazzo Trinci, Gothic palace in Foligno, Italy
The palace features a neoclassical facade, an arcaded inner courtyard, and multiple decorated halls containing extensive frescoes from different historical periods.
Built between 1389 and 1407 for Ugolino III Trinci, the palace served as the residence of the ruling family until their fall in 1439.
The Hall of Liberal Arts contains medieval frescoes depicting educational subjects, planetary influences, and the seven ages of human life.
The building now functions as a museum complex, housing an archaeological collection, an art gallery, and exhibits about tournaments and jousting.
A Gothic staircase leads visitors to a loggia with frescoes narrating the foundation of Rome, connecting to halls decorated by Gentile da Fabriano.

Umbria preserves traces of over two millennia of history through its archaeological sites, religious monuments, and remarkable natural formations. The region features underground complexes such as Orvieto Underground with its 1,200 passages carved into volcanic tuff, and Narni Underground, revealing medieval chapels and remains of Roman aqueducts. Visitors also explore the Dunarobba Fossil Forest, where 50 petrified tree trunks dating back three million years showcase the region's geological evolution. Medieval castles like Rocca Albornoziana overlook ancient towns, while monasteries such as San Pietro in Valle and Eremo delle Carceri maintain medieval art and spirituality. The Umbrian landscape stretches from Gubbio's Roman theaters to mountain villages like Castelluccio, perched at 1,452 meters (4,764 feet) above sea level, and includes the Nera Natural Park, which protects over 2,120 hectares (5,243 acres) of forests and limestone formations. These sites trace the region’s history from the Etruscan civilization through the Renaissance.
