Family Vacation- Castiglion del Lago (Lake Trasimeno Lago) (6)

Today, we visited Lago (lake) Trasimeno, an hour away from where we stayed, located at the northern part of Umbria, not far from Tuscany. It is the 4th largest lake in Italy. It is an historic, important place where Hannibal defeated the Romans in 217 BC (The battle of Lake Trasimeno). Since then, the surrounding hill towns had many castles, towers or fortified villages built. We stopped at Castiglione del Lago, where the beach and Ferry landing is located. My grandchildren had fun on a paddle boat and swimming. (8/21/2018)
