About Castiglione del Lago

Castiglione del Lago is a town in the province of Perugia (PG) of Umbria (central Italy), on the southwest corner of Lake Trasimeno. Castiglione del Lago has evolved on what used to be an island - the fourth island of Lake Trasimeno, in its south west region. Over the centuries, as the town grew, the flat gap between the island and the shore was filled with piazzas, houses, churches and other buildings.
