Castello del Buonconsiglio - Torre Aquila

sandysmith Says: Buonconsiglio Castle is a must see in Trento - amazing architecture and room interiors - so glad that Maurizio took us here. The castle was the residence of the prince-bishops of Trento from the second half of the 13th century until the secularisation of the principality in...
iandsmith Says: Trento Cathedral (Italian: Duomo di San Vigilio) is the most important religious edifice in Trento, northern Italy. Built over a pre-existing 6th century temple devoted to San Vigilio, patron saint of the city, its location aids in it being a standout edifice.Bishop Federico...
iandsmith Says: The Castle of Buonconsiglio remained the seat of the Prince-Bishops until 1803. Used by the Austrians as military barracks and, later, as a jail, it decayed. In the 1920s, when Trento was returned to Italy, it became seat of a National Museum and was restored. Since 1992 it...

draguza Says: The Piazza del Duomo is indeed a pleasant square circled by arcades, shops and cafè and giving onto streets lined with frescoed palaces, notably via Belanziani, many of them built in the sixteenth century when Trento was an important market.
draguza Says: This square is the heart of the town; it is adorned by the "Fontana del Nettuno" (Fountain of Neptune), and is surrounded by buildings of noble character. The southern side is flanked by the "Duomo" (cathedral); to the east we find the twelfth-century "Palazzo Pretorio", a...
Maurizioago Says: Castello del Buonconsiglio is surely the main sight of Trento. It is made of three buildings. It has many rooms, some towers and two gardens. The ancient part of the castle named Castelvecchio was built between XIII and XV centuries. Its courtyard is decorated with beautiful...

draguza Says: It is a nice place, ith stained glass windows, outdoor beer garden and good menu featured wood fire stone ovens pizzas and steaks. Behind the bar you could see 5 large holding tanks with signs noting the name of the beer and the date it was brewed. There are even stainless...
Le Sfiziose.: Slices of pizza to take away.
Maurizioago Says: Here they serve slices of pizza and also focaccia (it's a kind of large sandwitch). Le Sfiziose is the right place for a snack after having visited the Cathedral and the surrounding area. I like so much pizza with wurstel or pizza with vegetables.
Ristorante Primavera.: This should be the cheapest restaurant in town.
Maurizioago Says: This restaurant is located under the porticoes in via del Suffragio (see tip). Here you can eat in the dining room, in an outside area or under the porticoes. At ristorante Primavera they serve various kind of first courses; meat and pizzas. Their first courses are big.I...

Market, piazza Vittoria: Market, piazza Vittoria

JLBG Says: Strangolapreti is a traditional dish from the Trentino region. They are small dumplings made of spinach, eggs, bread and flour. They are usually served with sage butter and grated parmiggiano cheese. It is delicious but not really a light dish! It is a mountain dish for...
Maurizioago Says: St. Marco church was part of an Agustinian monastery. It was built in Romanesque style and dates from dal 1273. Today's building dates from 1600. The cloister of the monastery now belongs to a bank. I don't know if you can visit it.The church is located in via S. Marco....
Maurizioago Says: Casa Balduini is a beautiful palace located in Piazza del Duomo. Its external walls are decorated with frescoes painted in the late XV century. I think it is one of the finest building in piazza del Duomo.Today this palace houses a luxury wine bar- restaurant inside.
Maurizioago Says: This park belonged to the monastery of Saint Marco and was also used as an orchard. It was rebuilt between 2001 and 2002. Here you can see various kinds of roses, lots of trees and plants and a small maze.You can enter the park from via San Marco; not far from the castle.
