The town of
Rovereto vaunts two particular points of architectural interest, both dating back to the 15th century: the Castle and the Church of St. Mark.
On the hill of Miravalle, the great Bell of those fallen in war provides the suitable occasion for a civil pilgrimage.
In Bolzen, a city where Italian and German cultures seamlessly blend together, between the many architectural sites we recommend beginning from a "lesser" work, yet one which have a great symbolic interest: the Porta del Vino (the "Wine Gate") inside Bolzen's gothic Cathedral, artistically engraved with images of peasants at the work between the vines. A homage to wine, which here is produced with excellent results - just one more reason for this region's appeal.
Not to be missed is the Domenican Church, with its 14th century fresco on the "Triumph of Death" in clear Giotto style.
Finally,
Merano is a pretty and highly popular tourist centre with ancient porticoes and a suggestive historic centre.
