Stenico Castle

Concrete symbol of the power that the Prince Bishops of Trento held, it looms high over the Outer Giudicarie area.

The castle, owned by the Prince Bishops of Trento from the 12th century, was the residence for the captain who governed the surrounding territory. This link with the centre of power is also documented in one of the frescoes of the Ciclo dei Mesi (Cycle of the Months) in Torre Aquila in Buonconsiglio Castle, Trento. You can see Stenico Castle towers in the fresco, where ladies and knights play with snowballs. Today, when you visit the castle, you can't help but admire the 13th-century frescoes that adorn the chapel of San Martino or the numerous rooms furnished with period furniture. Also of great interest is the archaeological section and the invaluable collection of inlaid furniture, frescoes and ancient weapons from the Museum at Trento’s Buonconsiglio Castle, of which this manor is an outpost.

HIGHLIGHT
An ancient furnished manor and the beautiful San Martino Chapel.
