Route: Florence - Trasimeno Lake - Assisi - Perugia - Florence
Duration: 11 h
Our first stop will be at the Castiglione, also known as Castiglione del Lago, is the main town on the western shore of Lago Trasimeno, Umbria’s largest lake, and the fourth largest lake in all of Italy. Castiglione has evolved on what used to be an island. Over the centuries as the town grew and became more populated, the gap between the island and the shore was filled with houses, churches and other buildings. The  older center is a fairly well preserved medieval locality that seems to be governed by a “law of threes”. In the town walls there are three gates, and inside the town there are three piazze and three churches. The Castello del Leone (“Fortress of the Lion”) was built by Emperor Frederick II during his reign over Castiglione during the 13th century. The castle was designed to give its owners strategic control over all of Lake Trasimeno. The Palazzo del Corgna, or Town Hall, was built by Ascanio della Corgna in Renaissance style incorporating what once was a hunting lodge, and was designed by the architect Vignola. It is now a civic museum and gallery. The palazzo has by a long, covered corridor connecting to the castle. Other building of particular interest is the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena, the church has a neo-classical pronaos, anoutside portico dating from 1867, and inside, a panel painted in 1580 by Eusebio da San Giorgio.Next we will visit to Assisi and explore Italy’s famous pilgrimage site. Will stroll the maze of medieval streets, and visit the Basilicas of Santa Chiara and St. Francis to see one of Italy’s largest collections of church art. Located on a gentle hill beneath the summit of Monte Subasio, the fabled Umbrian town of Assisi is the most famous pilgrimage site in Italy, a consequence of being the birthplace of Saint Francis. Born in the village of warm pink stone in 1182, Francis founded the mendicant Franciscan order to which he gave his name in 1210. Prior to his birth, Assisi had been settled by ancient Umbrian tribes, and later became a Roman town. Thanks to this rich history and blend of incredible architecture and art, it’s a multi-sided town. Assisi is a home to the consecrated remains of the saint and the best collection of art in any church of Italy, including frescoes and paintings by Cimabue, Giotto, Lorenzetti and more. During the tour we will visit the St. Francis Basilica, Main square with minerva temple, Oratory of St. Francis, Birthplace of St. Francis, Basilica of St. Clare. Next we will visit to Perugia which is a city full of charm and history. Every ancient gate, alley, piazza, palazzo, and church will capture your imagination; and every museum and gallery will impress you with a sense of history, culture, and art. Perugia is not just a stuffy old showcase of the ancient, it also has a young, vibrant, and energetic feel. Perugia is the site of many festivals and concerts, the most important of which are the annual fall Chocolate festival and the summer Umbria Jazz festival, lending the city to a chic and urbane atmosphere unmatched by other Italian cities. During our visit you will see Fontana Maggiore, Cattedrale di San Lorenzo, The National Gallery of Umbria ,Rocca Paolina, Oratorio di San Bernardino, Etruscan Well, Volumni Hypogeum also you can to visit to Perugina Chocolate Factory. After free time we return to Florence.
