The oldest of Passignano sul Trasimeno is still surrounded by the ring of medieval walls that testify to any significant development that the centre suffered from small agricultural village during the Roman Empire to the castle that after the Lordship of Uguccione II in 917, was long disputed between Arezzo, Perugia and Florence.
Few are the historic buildings of the town because of destruction caused by the bombing of the Second World War, remain in fact the fifteenth church of San Rocco and erected only a few years later, of San Bernardino. From Passignano is reached in a few minutes boat ride Maggiore Island on Lake Trasimeno where you can visit the Romanesque church of St. Saviour of the twelfth century, that of Saint Michael the Archangel the fourteenth century and the Villa Isabella of the Marquis Guglielmi. On the mainland, however, about ten kilometers from Passignano sul Trasimeno, lies the small village of Castel Rigone, where he was erected one of the most elegant Renaissance buildings throughout Umbria: the church of Our Lady of Miracles.
