Its privileged position makes Castel Giorgio the ideal holiday destination for the lovers of naturalistic excursions. One part of this lovely centre, that develops on the border between Umbria and Latium, is occupied by the famous Lake Bolsena, while the north-western side is dominated by the impressive profile of Mount Amiata, crossed by the stream Romealla and by its spectacular waterfalls and surrounded by low volcanic stone reliefs.
Like most other Umbrian towns, Castel Giorgio is scattered with precious remains belonging to ancient Etruscan necropolises and Roman villas, as well as with important finds and remains dating back to the Middle Ages and the following centuries. 3 kilometres far from the city centre is Montalfina Castle, an important example of Medieval defensive structure that was built in the year 1000 and then subsequently remodelled over the course of the Renaissance Period. Not to be missed is the Renaissance Palazzo di Montiolo too, that was commissioned by a noble man from Orvieto and erected along the ancient Via Traiana, that now runs parallel to the municipal pinewood forest. No remains have survived of the original castle, that was commissioned by the Bishop of Orvieto Giorgio della Rovere, who is said to have founded the city in 1477. The castle, that was erected in the city centre and then destroyed by terrible wars and earthquakes, was replaced by the Bishop's Palace in 1620, that still stands next to the parish church of Castel Giorgio.
