The gem of Lake Bolsena is an ancient village perched on a promontory that rises at 334 m a.s.l. on a small peninsula on the southwestern shore of the lake... #tuttitaly
Set on a peninsula stretching towards Lake Bolsena, Capodimonte is a top-rated tourist resort for its services.
Tourist attractions
One of the main tourist attractions is the lake and its splendid Bisentina island, connected to the town by an efficient motorboat service equipped with a tourist guide.
A walk through the village's alleys will allow you to see splendid views that open towards the body of water.
The most important monument is the Rocca Farnese, dating back to the 11th century. Initially a prison of heretics, it was transformed in 1510, by the will of the Farnese family, into a noble residence.
A few steps from the fortress is the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta, where a painting of Santa Maria delle Grazie from the 18th century is kept.
A few minutes from the center, the Museum of Navigation in the Inland Waters is worth a visit.
Gastronomy
The typical local dish is the whitefish, the lake fish sought after for the high quality of its meat.
