... the tower which "can be seen from everywhere", with the ruins of it's castle, a testimony of it's history.

 

...a cultural lively village organizing a lot of events.

 

... also the name of the festival "Agello è"  with it's many musical and cultural events and it's unforgettable culinary specialites,  - running every year in the second week of august

 

 

There are especially two things which the residents of Agello are proud about: the panorama which you see from the castle and the important part which Agello played in the history of Perugia.
Concerning the panorama it's enough to make a small effort to reach the highest part of the village: here you can enjoy a magnifical round-view reaching from the rolling hills of the Appenine to the Lake Trasimeno and even see Assisi.
