Castiglione del Lago is a beautiful, vibrant town in the province of Perugia in Umbria, Italy. Located at the southwest corner of Lake Trasimeno, it offers a perfect location for travelers to explore its stunning castles, churches and piazzas. Rich with culture, Castiglione del Lago offers tourists unique experiences to enjoy such as its annual Coloriamo i Cieli ("Color the Skies") festival – where hot air balloons, light aircraft, and kites fill the skies with multicolored magic. Brightening up the streets, many shops and cafes line the cobblestone alleys leading towards ancient, stucco-ed churches, while the old fortress - built by Emperor Frederick II in 1247 CE - overlooks the crystal-clear lake. A visit to charming Castiglione del Lago promises unforgettable memories!
