Panicale

From its hill on the slopes of Monte Petrarvella, Panicale looks across Lake Trasimeno and the Valdichiana as far as Cortona and Montepulciano. The oval walled centre, entered by Porta Perugina and Porta Fiorentina, prospered in the Renaissance, when Perugino worked for its churches. His fresco of the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian (1505) is still in the church of San Sebastiano.
