What you can expect
The guided tour of Trento will introduce you to the artistic and architectural beauties of a town that is a transit point for ski resorts, with a perfect harmony in its historic center between historic buildings and the surrounding mountains. Let's start from one of the symbols of Trento that we will visit externally, the Buonconsiglio Castle, a perfectly preserved fortress that was the home of the bishops who dominated Trento; the complex, now a museum, contains two castles, the Venetian Loggia where you can admire the panorama of the town from above and the Aquila Tower entirely frescoed with the Cycle of the Months.
Let's go to the historic center by visiting the Church of St. Peter and Paul dating back to the 19th century with its characteristic Gothic-style facade, the statue of St. Peter and the green bell tower; inside we find the beautiful octagonal Chapel of Simon richly decorated in gold and sculptures of angels. The tour continues walking in the heart of the historic center among the main streets with the most beautiful buildings such as Palazzo Saracini Cresseri, seat of the Alpine Museum with its curious facade painted with a three-dimensional effect; another suggestive building is the Palazzo Fugger Galasso known as the Devil's Palace according to an ancient legend, surrounded by many small shops where you can find typical products such as speck, dumplings and sweets of Austrian origins.
We arrive in the most important square, Piazza Duomo, where we visit the Cathedral dedicated to San Vigilio, patron saint of Trento, a building with Gothic and Baroque elements with the Wheel of Fortune, the large rose window that illuminates the central nave. The Cathedral, which houses the saint's tomb and precious decorations and sculptures inside, has become famous for hosting the famous Council of Trent in the 1500s.
In the beautiful square there is also the imposing Palazzo Pretorio dating back to the 13th century which in the past was used as a prison, court and seat of the Municipality and today houses the Treasury of the Cathedral with the Diocesan Museum, and the Civic Tower, with its large clock used in the past to announce death sentences with the Renga bell; in the center of the square we can admire the picturesque Fountain of Neptune, a monumental fountain from the 1700s in red stone from Trento. We end the guided tour by discovering the Church of S. Maria Maggiore, also the seat of the Council with a large external rose window and beautiful decorations and Baroque altars inside.
