Discover South Tyrol's eventful past, revealed in its 400 castles, manor houses, stately residences and ruins. Some loom high above the valley floor, others nestle among vineyards or guard the low-lying areas from aloft. The imposing keeps and towers, the walls, battlemented parapets and knights' halls are vestiges of bygone days and reminders of momentous events which shaped the course of history.
