Rocca di Passignano (Castle of Passignano) - Passignano sul Trasimeno
The Rocca di Passignano (Castle of Passignano) is located inside the village, in an elevated position above the town, which later expanded to the lakeshore. According to some sources, Passignano could mean "place of the pass," referring to the existence of a Roman military structure that served to control a "pass" between the present-day regions of Umbria and Tuscany.
Nothing remains of this possible structure today. Currently, the castle consists of ruins of medieval structures: square walls, a half-ruined tower, and the northern part of the castle with a triangular tower. Furthermore, a series of alleys wind through this part of the historic center, once surrounded by walls, giving an idea of what the street layout within the castle might have looked like.
The oldest core probably dates back to the 5th or 6th century; The square walls, however, were built between 820 and 850, when the castle belonged to the Marquises of Tuscany. In 1187, the property became the property of the canons of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo in Perugia. In the 13th century, the castle underwent significant renovations, transforming it into a true fortress, an outpost, and defensive bastion of the Perugian territory.

Not only the beach promenade is a must-see in Passignano sul Trasimeno, but also the old town with its many small, romantic alleys is a must-see. Here you will find many small restaurants and shops, some of which are hidden, where you can buy beautiful souvenirs or delicacies.
