P a n i c a l e
Anciently a medieval castle,
Panicale is still surrounded by its original 12th
century defensive walls, and is set in a dominating position
above Lake Trasimeno.
Within the
walls the town is structured in a circular shape, that peaks
at the highest point of the city from which it is possible
to enjoy a breathless view of the Lake and the surrounding
hills.
Just outside
the city walls, Panicale keeps a treasure in a small
oratory, the famous fresco made by Perugino, depicting the
Martyr of St. Sebastian.
