Kastelruth - Castelrotto: Seis am Schlern - Spitzbühl
Castelrotto has served as a market centre on the edge of South Tyrol’s Dolomites since the Middle Ages. Also known by its German name, Kastelruth, the municipality extends onto the Seiser Alm/Alpe di Siusi, a broad alpine pasture beneath the Dolomite massifs. Spitzbühl lies on this upland, where meadows, isolated farm buildings and conifer woodland form a cultural landscape shaped by generations of farming. The Alpe di Siusi is widely regarded as Europe’s largest high-altitude alpine meadow and is part of the Dolomiti Superski area, while walking routes cross the plateau. Castelrotto belongs to multilingual South Tyrol, where German and Italian share public life and Ladin traditions endure in nearby valleys. The parish church tower remains a defining landmark of the settlement below the plateau.

Its character is distinctly multilingual: Italian and German are official languages, while Ladin remains in use in several Dolomite valleys. Medieval castles, Tyrolean customs and Italian city life meet in a borderland historically connected with Tyrol.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
