Town: Italy, Lago Trasimeno, Panicale
Like many places in central Italy, Panicale in the Middle Ages was built as a small town surrounded by a wall (Borgo). Inside the Borgo, the three central sites are created at different levels, emblematic of the social relations of power in the Middle Ages: The lowest place served as a marketplace and wells. One the next higher level the church of San Michele Arcangelo stands for the power of the church. Situated at the highest point of the village, at the present Piazza Masolino, the majestic Palazzo del Podestà overlooked the entire place as a centre of secular political power.
