Castellando

Cultural exhibitions and events , Guided tour

What do you think about a train journey among the most evocative castles in the Comano Valley? It will be the perfect occasion to jump back in time and wander through the walls of ancient manors, once owned by noble families, and picturesque rural hamlets, conquering a corner of Trentino, that is a pleasure to visit, discover and taste.
Castellando is a guided tour for adults that will lead you through ancient collections and noble palaces, old furniture and walls, symbols of the power of the Bishopric of Trento and of the most prestigious families who lived in this territory. Matteo, our guide, will lead you to the discovery of the collections of two important noble residences: Stenico Castle , which used to be the house of the Prince-Bishop of Trento, and Campo Castle, once the aristocratic court of one of the most eminent families of our valley. You will also visit the parish-church of S. Lorenzo in Vigo Lomaso, one of the oldest ones in Trentino, from where you can admire on the background Spine Castle, fortress dating back to 1200.

Immerse yourself in the culture and the flavours of this tour that will make you feel the charm of history, and taste mouthwatering food, healthy for both the body and the mind.
