I castelli di Trentino I

Scattered throughout Trentino are dozens of castles, each unique, in varying conditions, some in ruins, some fully restored. Whether as a city fortress or a walled, feudal village, each castle served a different purpose and, today, stand as a testiment to the rich history and culture of the region. Presently, some castles are abandoned, some are used as museums and others used as private residences. The following, listed by location, are just some of the many castles to see in Trentino. Many are worth a visit, others, just a drive-by. Of these, the castles in Trento, Rovereto, Besenello, Arco, Pergine and Toblino are the most easily accessible, most interesting and most fun to visit. (More to come on these in later posts!)
