Castiglione del Lago is quite a small town and has few 'remarkable' monuments but is really very pleasant to visit and has very much the feel of a lively holiday resort compared to most hill villages in Tuscany and Umbria!
Among the religious buildings in Castiglione del Lago the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena stands out. This church was built in the early 19th century on the ruins of an earlier church of medieval origin and contains frescoes by Pier Mariano Vittori (1817-1888) with the collaboration of Alceste Ricci.
Also remarkable in the church is an altarpiece depicting the 'Madonna and Child, St. Anthony Abbot and Saint Mary Magdalene'* painted in 1500 by Eusebio da San Giorgio (1470-1550), a pupil of Perugino (1450-1520).
