Borgo Valsugana: Art and History

A holiday apartment in Borgo Valsugana opens the door to a journey through an urbanised river landscape, art and history. The historic centre of Borgo Valsugana stretches along both banks of the Brenta, thereby connecting the river with the townscape. You can shape your days according to your interests, combining historic streets, exhibitions and trails in the surrounding area.

River Landscape and Historic Architecture

Corso Ausugum is lined with portals, late Renaissance and Baroque palaces, shops and churches. Together with the Brenta, this street defines the cultural character of the town. Those who enjoy walking through historic townscapes will find diverse impressions of architecture, everyday life and religious buildings within a cohesive urban setting.

The history of the area also includes the Mostra Permanente della Grande Guerra in Valsugana e sul Lagorai. It is housed in the former Mulino Spagolla, in a section of the river within the historic centre of Borgo Valsugana. Spazio Klien is dedicated to Erika Giovanna Klien, an avant-garde artist who was born in Borgo Valsugana on 12 April 1900. Changing exhibitions there present painting, sculpture, bibliographic material and photography, with particular attention given to local and Trentino artists in general.

Outdoor Art and Trails with Panoramic Views

Arte Sella is located at Malga Costa and is an open-air art exhibition along a forest road on the southern slope of Monte Armentera in Val di Sella, within the municipality of Borgo Valsugana. The Artenatura circular trail leads to artworks and monumental trees; the site also includes an exhibition and cultural space at Malga Costa. This means that your itinerary can include not only indoor spaces but also artworks connected with the landscape.

Castel Telvana can be reached from the historic centre of Borgo Valsugana via the Sentiero dei Castelli. The trail runs along the slopes of Monte Ciolino to the rear of the castle and offers views across the Valsugana. This combination of trail, castle and landscape is particularly appealing if you would like to combine an active outing with a historic destination.

In the surroundings of Borgo Valsugana, La Rocchetta can be reached in about five minutes by car, bicycle or bus, as well as on foot via numerous routes and trails. The approximate travel time can therefore be combined with different modes of transport, while the routes and trails provide an additional option for planning your day.

Places of Remembrance in the Valley

In the Olle district of Borgo Valsugana, Museo Casa Andriollo displays documents and artefacts from the lives of women, particularly from the domestic sphere. The Oratorio di San Rocco in Borgo Valsugana was built in 1509 by the local population as the result of a vow made against the plague that depopulated the valley. The connection between the plague and the events of that time is considered probable. Both places draw attention to personal worlds and historical experiences that extend beyond representative buildings.
