Visit the village starting from Porta Perugina, where you immediately come to Piazza Umberto I, with its beautiful octagonal travertine cistern dating from 1473, later transformed into a fountain, opposite the 14th-century Palazzo Pretorio. In the adjacent square is the Church of San Michele Arcangelo, of Lombard origin, which contains valuable works of art including the Nativity by Giovan Battista Caporali, a pupil of Perugino (1519) and the fresco of the Annunciation attributed to Masolino da Panicale.
Concluding the tour inside Panicale is the vision of the fresco painted by Perugino in 1505, the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, which decorates the back wall of the oratory dedicated to the saint.
