What you can expect

Begin your tour in Piazza Mazzini, the heart of the medieval village. Admire the historic stone and brick buildings, cafes, and artisan shops that surround the square. Take in unique views of the walls and the Trasimeno Lake.

Next, head to the Palazzo della Corgna, an elegant Renaissance building that houses the Civic and Archaeological Museum. Admire the stone and terracotta facade, decorated balconies, ornate windows, and the Corgna family crests that tell the noble history of the city.

Continue along the high street and encounter a centuries-old olive grove, a testament to Umbria's long agricultural tradition. Stop for a photo or to admire the natural beauty of the surrounding area.

Arrive at the Rocca del Leone, an imposing medieval fortress that dominates the village's promontory. Observe the mighty walls, imposing towers, and ancient gates with brick and worked stone. Enjoy a spectacular view of Lake Trasimeno from the external walkway.

Continue with a visit to the Church of San Domenico, an elegant building with a stone and brick facade, a simple portal, and a bell tower. Admire the Gothic and Renaissance details from the outside, while the interior houses a precious wooden altar, votive frescoes, and historical paintings.

Proceed to the Porta Senese, a historic gateway to the village surrounded by side towers. The structure is made of solid local stone and bricks, with a round arch and corbels that recall its original defensive function.

Conclude your tour with a walk through the medieval streets, artisan shops, small squares, and picturesque alleys, allowing you to savour the life of the Umbrian village and admire the fusion of art, history, and lake landscape.
