Palazzo dei Consoli

The Palazzo dei Consoli (Palace of the Consuls) is a Gothic architecture, civic building in the historic centre of Gubbio, region of Umbria, Italy.

The present structures are a jarring mix of baroque (red brick L-shaped palace to the North) and the unfinished 14th-century taller white stone building with asymmetric doors and windows.

[1] The entrance portal is accessed by an elegant arched stone staircase from the grand plaza to the arengo, a big hall with barrel vaults that, in the communal age, housed the citizens' meeting.

The tall barrel-vaulted main hall with high ceilings and stone walls is now lined by the exhibits of the civic museum which includes both archeologic and medieval art and artefacts from Gubbio.

The museum also has numismatic, ceramic (mainly maiolica), a pinacoteca with a 14th-century painted crucifix by the Master of the Gubbio Cross, a gonfalone by Sinibaldo Ibi, and a 1527 canvas depicting the Immaculate Conception by Francesco Signorelli.
