Travel Tips for Trento

Castello del Buonconsiglio

by Azhut

Of particular interest are the frescoes which picture the twelve months of the year in Torre dell'Aquila, painted by an anonymous fourteenth-century artist in the international gothic style. For securoty measures, visits are restricted to groups of max. twenty people, escorted by museum personnel). A restored building houses the civic museum of the Risorgimento and fight for freedom (opening hours; same as Castle museum), containing mainly relics and mementoes of the irredentist movement of the first world war and of the Resistance.

Autunno Trentino.

by Maurizioago

Autunno Trentino is a group of events that will take place in autumn. In fact "autunno" means autumn.

In piazza Fiera and piazza Cesare Battisti there will be various stalls with typical food products to taste and buy. You can also attend some concerts and folk dances. Some guided trekking and a mushrooms exposition are scheduled.

Il Duomo of Trento

by hundwalder

The Duomo ( cathedral ) of Trento ( Trent ) is the most dominant cathedral I have seen in any of my travels. This duomo is so large that it almost seems that you are drawn into its gravily as soon as you get anywhere near the central piazza. Built entirely out of pink marble quarried from the nearby Dolomiti mountains, it is enormous. You don't need signs to guide you to Trento centro. The great campinale shown in the photo draws you toward it.

Located in the very center of old town Trento ( Trent ).

Cable car to Sardagna

by angiebabe

Cable cars from the San Lorenzo bridge/Ponte San Lorenzo, near Trento's bus station, up to the viilage and cable car station of Sardagna on the lower slopes of Monte Bondone run every 15 to 30 minutes.

I didnt catch the cable car up as I drove up in my car but the cable car was in service - it sounds rather low priced with my copy of the Rough Guide for Italy giving a price in 2005 of only 80cents euro.

There are excellent views from here over Trento and around the entire valley surrouned by mountains.

Theres a restaurant up here too which was closed though when I was there, probably because it was a very quiet time of year!

Palazzo Del Monte, the Labors of Hercules.

by JLBG

The frescoes represent the main scenes of the Labors of Hercules. They are an example of the evolution from the Venetian gothic style towards the more severe Renaissance style.

The first photo shows the following scenes:
Killing of the carnivorous birds in the swamp of Stinfalo by shooting arrows (top left)
Killing of the hydra of Learn (top right)
Hercules tames the carnivorous horse of Diomede (bottom left)
Killing of the snake that guards the Hesperid's tree with gold apples.(bottom right)

Other scenes represented on the frescoes are:
Killing of the lion of Nemea
Capture of the wild boar of Erimate
Capture of the stag Cernitica
Conquest of the belt of Hippolite, Queen of the Amazons
Killing of the Centaurs
Hercules and Antae
Killing of Gerione, a three bodied monster
Capture of Cerberus, three-headed dog that guards the kingdom of the dead.
