PLACES OF INTEREST

THE LEANING TOWER OF VERNAZZANO

The castle watchtower is therefore the most characteristic component of the complex, with its incredible slope of around 13° on the vertical.

PUNTA MACERONE NATURE PARK

Punta Macerone Nature Park was created on the peninsula of the same name that reaches out into Lake Trasimeno. Its location and conformation have created a special wetland environment, suitable for various species of wildlife: the traveller could admire especially waterfowl and migratory birds.

HANNIBAL’S MUSEUM

Piazza Garibaldi is home to the Documentation Center on the Battle of Trasimeno, also known as Museo di Annibale (Hannibal Museum), which presents an up-to-date exhibition of studies on the Battle of Lake Trasimeno, the Second Punic War and the great Carthaginian commander Hannibal Barca.

THE CASTLE OF MONTE GUALANDRO

The castle of Monte Gualandro has always occupied an excellent strategic position, dominating Lake Trasimeno, Val di Chiana and the Trasimeno Valley. This stronghold marks the extreme boundary of the Perugian territory and stands at about 450 metres above sea level.

TOWN HALL SQUARE AND THE FONTAIN

Tuoro’s central square, Piazza del Municipio, is the heart of the historical centre. The central area is adorned by a fountain, built in 1888, at the same time as the construction of the municipal aqueduct.

THE BEACH

At the centre of the tourist-receptive area, both public and private, of Punta Navaccia di Tuoro, with parking, green area, dock, restaurants, dancing, and camping, there is a large, well-equipped beach that is one of the most beautiful on Lake Trasimeno.

ISOLA MAGGIORE

A corner of paradise, routes between art and history, tradition and nature, and good food.

At Isola Maggiore, the unspoilt splendour of the landscape is inextricably intertwined with the history of the fishing community that inhabits it: starting from Etruscan/Roman times, passing through a Middle Ages rich in light and shade, and ending with the present day.

THE TOWER OF BORGHETTO

The first sufficiently well-established information on the village of Villa Burgi Novi (the original name of Borghetto), which was not yet well fortified at the time, dates back to the end of the 13th century, a period in which the territory on which the new settlement stood was the subject of dispute due to the struggle to expand the borders of its territory between the Communes of Perugia, Cortona and Arezzo.

CAMPO DEL SOLE

Campo del sole is an imposing architectural ensemble, an open-air museum, and a unique sculpture park located at Punta Navaccia, a project conceived by renowned artist Pietro Cascella with the collaboration of sculptors like Mauro Berrettini and Cordelia von den Steinen.
