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.

The Girifalco Fortress is an imposing defensive structure that dominates the city of Cortona from above. Built in the 16th century to protect Cortona from external attacks, it today offers a breathtaking view of the Valdichiana. It's a perfect place for a scenic walk, take incredible photos and immerse yourself in history. The fortress also hosts exhibitions and cultural events, making it a lively and interesting place to visit.

Given that the whole city of Cortona is wonderful, I highly recommend visiting this place for the architecture of the buildings and the magic of the atmosphere that the view of the Val di Chiana conveys.

The fortress of Pierle is a ruined castle near the town of Mercatale, in the municipality of Cortona, in the province of Arezzo. Built in the 11th century and remodeled in 1371 in order to protect Cortona from the aggressiveness of Perugia, it is known for the massacre of a group of conspirators, wanted by Uguccio Casali, of which it was the scene in 1387. It was consciously disembowelled in parts internal in 1576 by order of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Francesco I de' Medici, given that it constituted a potential shelter for his enemies.

Highest point around Cortona - great views!

Very nicely prepared narrow streets
