Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Keith TCanberra, Australia91 contributionsWe did a day trip by bus from Perugia to this picturesque township of Gubbio. After a coffee, the Palazzo Sei Consoli was a must do stop.
The structure itself is most impressive, especially when it was the seat of government of the free commune of Gubbio where the General Assembly of the people sat as the representative body of the people of the commune of Gubbio.
The exhibitions in the original building are of high standard and the captions (in Italian and English) show a hugh amount of work has been done to authenticate the objects as true and fair in what they represent. They provide most useful descriptions of the items and put them in the context of the day.
Of interest was the way the original Umbrian language was constructed (supported by engravings found on site dated back to the 15th century, known as the Iguvine Tables, mapping out the way society in the commune was to work). These tables (engraved on bronze) were probably writetn in the 1st century BC and before the Roman occupation of he area.
In fact, of further interest is the racial/tribal structure of Italy and nearby Slovenia/Croatia as we know it, before the Romans conquered the whole area.
Many displays showed pottery found on site, as well as a large variety of paintings from various epochs that were in the churches in the area. These are enhanced with some of the furniture used by the General Assembly.
The are many steps and I am not sure how those in wheel chairs can get around, but I expect there wil be a way.
The entry fee is most reasonable and very much well worh it.Written 25 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
