Sights at Lake Tenno

Town of Tenno

Quaint flair, ancient buildings and houses with romantically weathered facades characterise the village. Remains of the old city walls are still partially preserved. Perched on the hill is a mighty 12th-century castle, but you can only view the exterior as the interior is not open to visitors.

Church of San Lorenzo

Next to the castle is the Romanesque church of San Lorenzo from the 13th century, known for its particular apse with the oldest frescoes in the province of Trentino.

Monte San Martino

At an altitude of 850 metres above sea level, this archaeological site is home to discoveries from prehistoric to late Roman times.

Canale del Monte

The small mountain village impresses with its perfectly preserved medieval appearance and is one of the most beautiful mountain villages in the province of Trentino. There are also two museums in the town: the artist's house "Giacomo Vittone", where regular exhibitions are held, and the Agricultural Museum "Museo degli Attrezzi Agricoli", which manages the study of agriculture and crafts in Trentino.
