FORTS AND CASTELS

 

 

 

Castles and fortifications dating from different times
are the main identifying features of a border land as Trentino was over the centuries. Nowadays those buildings are all that is left of the local history. Most of them medieval origin fell into ruin as centuries went by, but some of them, the most important from an historical and artistic point of view, have been restored. The symbol and evidence of this great restoration project of the historical and artistic heritage of Trentino is Castel Beseno wich can be seen by those travelling on the Brenner motorway between Rovereto and Trento, a true fortification guarding the Valle dell’ Adige.
