San Martin de Tor - San Martino in Badia - St. Martin in Thurn: Marebbe - Camera 2
The Dolomites define the setting of San Martino in Badia — steep wooded slopes and pale limestone massifs give this Ladin community in Val Badia its distinctly alpine character. Known in Ladin as San Martin de Tor and in German as St. Martin in Thurn, the municipality lies in South Tyrol, where Italian, German and Ladin traditions meet. Its cultural landmark is Ciastel de Tor, a medieval castle housing the Museum Ladin, devoted to the language, heritage and daily life of the Dolomites’ Ladin people. The nearby Puez-Odle Nature Park forms part of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage property, while the surrounding valleys retain a pattern of woodland, mountain farms and routes between the upper Val Badia communities.

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.
