Historical Centre

The Castle
This castle, built in three different historical periods and enlarged as far as the shores of the lake, has always been the main defence point of Passignano. The first construction dates back to the 5th-6th c. It has recently been bought by the Town Council which has restored it completely to use as a Documentation centre for the territory.

Gothic Tower
This is the oldest tower dating back to the 5th-6th Century.Until the beginning of the 19th C. the tower was part of the surrounding walls, and was probably at that date already used as a house.

San Bernardino
Situated on the main road of the historical centre, this church was built at the end of the 5th c., and has a fine sandstone portal. In the nearby "piazzetta" (small square) there is the Oratory of the Holy Sacrament, and the church of San Rocco with its elegant Renaissance double portal in sandstone
