Rocca del Leone, Medieval castle in Castiglione del Lago, Italy.
The pentagon-shaped fortress features four corner towers and a 39-meter triangular central keep overlooking Lake Trasimeno in Umbria.
Emperor Frederick II commissioned the castle construction in the 1200s, building upon remains that included a church dedicated to Saints Philip and James.
The castle holds summer theatrical performances within its walls, connecting the medieval structure to contemporary entertainment and artistic expressions.
Visitors enter through the Palazzo della Corgna on Via Antonio Gramsci 1, with access to both the castle and palace included in the admission ticket.
The castle connects to the ducal palace through a covered walkway with strategic openings that provide views across Lake Trasimeno.
