Trentino castles to visit in the fall

Crenellated walls, towers, bastions and allures (protected walkways behind a battlement): everything you would imagine in fairy tales comes true in Trentino.

So, as if by magic, your kids can transform themselves for a day into princesses or medieval knights and dream of living in a far away time thanks to pageants, fun activities and games. Learning about history has never been this much fun!

Castello del Buonconsiglio

The castle that rises in the city centre of Trento, and which once was the prince- bishop's residence, hides many surprises within its walls: from the Italian garden to the frescoes. Particularly curious are those dedicated to the "Cycle of the Months", where you can observe how the real life of the common people and of the nobles looked like in the late Middle Ages.

Castel Beseno

Walk on the allures (protected walkways behind a battlement) that overlook the Vallagarina and imagine the archers of centuries ago. In this place, it is easy to feel as though you are travelling back in time when you visit the largest fortified complex in Trentino. And it's even easier when the imagination of children and adults can run wild, with the chance to wear helmets and shirts of iron mail while playing in the tournament field.

 Castel Stenico

A beautiful medieval castle, Castel Stenico encloses a series of courtyards and buildings between its walls, which will become the ideal setting for a family visit. If you want to discover also the other castles of the Terme di Comano area, do not miss the appointment with "Castellando" on September 15th, a train trip and guided tour to discover castles, ancient villages and flavors of the territory.

Castello di Avio

Picadora Tower – which, according to tradition, owes its name to the fact that convicts were once hanged here – dominates on the rocky spur around which the castle is built. Here, in a compelling game-path, the whole family will test its power of observation by trying to find seven mysterious letters through which to reconstruct the history of the castle.
