Torre Verde, Trento's iconic tower, boasts a vibrant green majolica roof and historical
significance as part of ancient city walls
Church of Saints Peter and Paul (Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo), located at Piazzetta
dell'Anfiteatro 19, just off Via San Pietro in the heart of Trento's historic center.
The polychrome marble façade in neo-Gothic style, of marked Venetian influence, is the result of the 19th century re-building of the church by Pietro Selvatico (1848-1850), who received 20,000 florins from Earl Gasparo Bortolazzi for his work. The façade is divided into three spans having two double lancet lobate windows. Rising above it is the statue of St. Peter. The 15th century bell tower (1487) is monumental: pink limestone, squared ashlars, terracotta belfry, arched single lancet windows, rounded double lancet windows, dragon head gargoyles, clock in the tympanum, slender flat-tiled cusp, gilded sphere and a rooster on the crown.
The apsidal part with the tower, the two side doors (the northern one was bricked in last century), the classical votive chapel (second half of the 16th century) by Simone di Trento (Piazzetta Anfiteatro) are the most interesting parts of the entire complex. They reflect the 15th century workmanship decisively.

The Sardagna Cable Car
The Trento–Sardagna Cable Car is not only a form of public transportation but also one of Trento’s most fascinating scenic attractions: in just a few minutes, it connects the city center with the small village of Sardagna, offering a breathtaking view of the Adige Valley and the surrounding mountains during the ascent.
Once there, visitors can easily reach the Busa degli Orsi viewpoint, which offers one of the most breathtaking views of the entire city and the surrounding Alpine landscape

Villa romana di Orfeo
The underground city of Trento is a treasure chest: the Roman Villa of Orpheus, located under via Rosmini, not far from the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, has been open to the public since June 2023. It is a magnificent example of an elegant residence, which takes its name from the large polychrome mosaic that can be admired in the reception room: it is a real mosaic carpet measuring 56 square metres, in the center of which Orpheus is depicted sitting on a rock, intent on playing the lyre to enchant the animals with his music.
Located outside the city walls of Tridentum, the villa was built during the first century AD, when the splendidum municipium (the splendid city), as it was defined by Emperor Claudius in 46 AD, experienced its most flourishing phase. The elegant residence stood in a neighborhood which, in light of numerous other discoveries, seems to have been the site of rich buildings located next to the walls, not far from one of the gates to the city.
