Castiglione del Lago
In Italy there is a group of Commons and hamlets called "I Borghi più Belli d'Italia" (the most beautiful villages of Italy). Castiglione del Lago is one of these.
Placed on a crag over the Trasimeno Lake, in Umbria, having a lot of remains of Etruscans and Roman age, it's characterized by a pentagonal castle of the XIII century, built by Frederick II of Svevia.
I think that we don't need too much words to explain the place... Come and see!
This is one of the gates of the village, through Della Corgna Palace.
Another city gate
And this is the covered escape route from Della Corgna Palace to the castle
