Trento

Among the cities of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Trento stands out for hosting the Council of Trent, which first assembled here in 1545 and helped define the Catholic Reformation. The city occupies the Adige Valley, between Alpine slopes and the course of the Adige River. Its compact historic centre brings together the Romanesque Cathedral of San Vigilio, where major council sessions were held, and Piazza Duomo with its Renaissance facades. Above the centre, Buonconsiglio Castle was the residence of Trento’s prince-bishops for centuries. Place Trento in its Alpine setting by browsing webcams from the Adige Valley and nearby towns.
