Built around a medieval castle, Panicale grew into a compact hill town above Lake Trasimeno in western Umbria. Its historic centre follows concentric, gently curving streets around Piazza Umberto I, an arrangement that still recalls the settlement’s fortified origins. The Church of San Sebastiano contains Pietro Perugino’s 1505 fresco of the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, a notable work of the Umbrian Renaissance. Panicale belongs to the Lake Trasimeno area, where olive groves and cultivated slopes shape the countryside.
