Panicale
still maintains a medieval aspect due typically to the remains of
the old town-walls and the fortified doors. The main attraction of
the village has to be found in the magnificent views one can benefit
on the Trasimeno Lake and the valley of the Nestore torrent; that's
why Panicale is also called the terrace of the trasimeno.
The
church of the Madonna of the Slabs and the one of S.Augustin are
by far remarkable buildings. To whom, however, artistic works are
more interesting, good reasons to visit in Panicale the church of
S. Sebastiano, are offered by two frescoes of the Perugino: "Martyrdom
of St. Sebastiano" and "Incoronazione di Maria" as
well as by the beautiful facade of the Collegiata, which locates
in St. Michele square.
In
the territory of Panicale there are some other villages that the
tourist shouldn't miss: The castle and the sanctuary of Mongiovino,
the sanctuary of the Grondici and the small fortress of Colle San
Paolo.
