Lana has functioned as a market town in South Tyrol since the 14th century. It spreads across the lower slopes above the Adige Valley, south of Merano, where orchards and vineyards reflect the valley’s long agricultural use. The community includes the historic centres of Oberlana, Mitterlana and Niederlana rather than one compact old town. In Niederlana’s Parish Church of the Assumption, the Schnatterpeck Altar, completed in 1511, is Tyrol’s largest winged altar and a major work of late-Gothic woodcarving. Traditional Waalwege, paths beside irrigation channels, trace the practical water systems that sustained cultivation on these slopes.
