Beseno Castle | To arms, to arms!

Beseno Castle offers an appointment that will bring you back to the sixteenth century. Groups of historical reenactment, coming from all Europe, will recreate the court life of that century, with tents, soldiers, arms, banners and knights. Piazza Grande will host musicians, jugglers, duells and the kitchens will delight the public with typical nibbles.

Two days in which you will experience the majesty of a castle that, in those years, was a place of big clashes; the battle of Calliano in 1487, between troups of Tyrol and from Venice, is the most important.
