Palazzo del Popolo (begun 1293), later the Palazzo dei Priori , has a remarkable frescoed hall, the Sala dei Notari. In Perugia the magistratura dei Priori, 'magistrature of the first citizens', was established in 1303: the palazzo had been called the Palazzo Nuovo del Popolo ('New Palace of the People') to that point. Two more bays and a grand entrance portal were added to the piazza fa\u00E7ade in 1333-1337, together with the arcaded loggia, where decrees were publicly read. Later in the fourteenth century the palazzo was extended along the Corso, with six bays and a richly carved entrance doorway. Since 1873 the art museum Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria has been housed in the building.
