• Torre Civica Guided Tour

The Civic Tower is the unmistakable symbol of the city of Trento. It overlooks the splendid Piazza Duomo, dominated by the Cathedral and embellished by the Neptune Fountain. It was built around the 12th century and was, until the end of the 19th century, one of the main places of detention in the city.

We give you the opportunity to discover eight of the twelve levels that make it up to the top and enjoy a breathtaking view of the city from above.
