Castles of Trentino
The province of Trento and its surroundings are rich in
fascinating castles and historic residences. Within the reach of a
few hours you can explore passed centuries and the magic of the
times of kings, princesses and courtiers.
Once upon a time noble princes and beautiful princesses used to
live in those impressive fortresses. The most popular castles in
the Trentino are the Castello del Buonconsiglio, the Castello
Beseno, the Castello di Stenico, the Castello Thun, the Castello
Toblino, the Castello di Rovereto, the Castello di Arco, the
Sabbionara di Avio, the Castello Caldes, the Castello Ivano and the
Castello Pergine.
The Castello del Buonconsiglio castle is
situated right in the center of Trento. Its gardens and its museum are a popular
destination among tourists and also inhabitants of the city.
The Castello Toblino is located right on the
shore of the lake. Many romantic legends talk about it. It was
owned by several noble families. However, they used it more as a
holiday resort than as a fortification.
The Castello di Rovereto has undergone several
restorations. Nowadays tourists can admire here the "Museo Storico
Italiano della Guerra" museum. We strongly recommend to also
visit the other castles of Trentino during your vacation in the
Dolomites!
