FR: être situé / se situer

[Sam302]

Bonjour,
When speaking of a physical location, are these two constructions synonymous?
I have been using est situé in some of my recent communications (eg. of a village, of a castle), and it after some quick research it seems to me that se situe is in fact the more frequent construction. If so, is est situé still correct usage in such contexts?
Merci beaucoup d'avance

Hi, Both are possible in that context and, at least for me, are fully equivalent in meaning.
