Castello di Montalera, Medieval castle in Panicale, Italy.
The hexagonal castle stretches over 300 meters in perimeter with walls reaching heights of ten meters, featuring defensive architectural elements and watchtowers.
Built in the 12th century, the castle changed ownership multiple times, passing from the Montemelini family to Biordo Michelotti in 1393 as payment for military services.
The Renaissance windows, ogival openings, and neoclassical chapel represent different architectural periods that shaped the castle's development through centuries.
The castle sits at 350 meters above sea level, offering direct views of Lake Trasimeno through its strategic position on the hilltop.
The internal courtyard contains a romantic garden with six flowerbeds bordered by box hedges, ancient trees, and traditional citrus vessels.
