Village of Preggio
Ancient village at 638 m. in height surrounded by lush vegetation and forests that make it a resort for those who prefer a pristine natural environment and tranquility of the Umbrian hills.
The Rock of Preggio, for its dominant position, was considered the most important area of Perugino and dell'Altavalle Tiber. Already existed in 917, when Emperor Berengar I confirmed the lordship of the Marquess Preggio Uguccione II of Bourbon. Besides the ruins of the fortress is worth visiting the church of SS Trinity in St. Francisco (1223) which houses a silver-gilt reliquary that holds a "Holy Thorn" exposed the Tuesday after Easter and the church of Our Lady of Grace (1400) which contains a lovely altar and a Renaissance fresco to attribute Pinturicchio. From Preggio you can go to Lake Trasimeno is discovered by Pinewood Col Bell in a scene of striking beauty.
