Rovereto,
Vallagarina e Altopiano di Brentonico.
The museums and castles in Rovereto and its outskirts
fit perfectly in the breathtaking nature of the valleys
and the adjacent plateaus.
Vallagarina corresponds to the southernmost part of
Valle dell´Adige, which is to say the part between
Besenello (a few kilometers north of Rovereto) and
Borghetto all´Adige (on the border of the province
of Verona). The scenery here varies a great deal passing
from the Adige plain with mainly cultivated vineyards,
to the rough landscape of Vallarsa, the vegetable
fields of Val di Gresta and the rolling meadows of
the Altopiano di Brentonico. This varied cultural
offer is headed by Rovereto, the administrative capital
of Vallagarina. Among its main attractions is the
Castle (seat of the History Museum); the historical
town center which bears evidence of the Venetian Republic´s
influence in past centuries, with its buildings, lanes,
porticoes and squares. Close to the town is the large
Bell of the Fallen, the symbol of Rovereto´s
commitment for peace. On 15 December 2003 has been
inaugurated the new Museum for Modern and Contemporary
Art (MART).
In Vallagarina, admire some of the most beautiful
castles in Trentino: Castel Beseno, a real fortified
citadel; Castel Pietra in Calliano; Castel Noarna;
Sabbionara Castle near Avio.
