Triangular Tower, Passignano sul Trasimeno
Highlight • Castle
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.

The Fortress of Passignano on Lake Trasimeno
Highlight • Castle
The Fortress of Passignano rises within the town, in a slightly elevated position in relation to the town that later developed along the lake shore. Passignano literally means "place of the pass". This probably refers to the existence of a Roman military structure that controlled the famous "pass", a link between the north and south of the peninsula.
