Borgo Valsugana

Besides being the administrative and political centre of the Valsugana, Borgo Valsugana is also one of the most beautiful hamlets of Italy. It is embedded in a marvellous fluvial landscape only a few kilometres from the wonderful Val di Sella

Its historic centre stretches along the riverbanks of the Brenta and is characterised by wonderful colonnades and several ancient residences with interesting portals, frescoes and decorations which remind of the typical Venetian style. Among the most important monuments are the archpriest church dedicated to Mary's Nativity and an important marble altar by architect and sculptor Cristoforo Benedetti. Another architectural gem is the small San Rocco church which was entirely frescoed by Francesco Corradi. At the various markets and shops you can buy beautiful local handicrafts.

The nearby Val di Sella stretches along forests and wide verdant meadows and is the perfect spot for magnificent hikes and excursions. The Arte Sella, an internationally recognised open-air exhibition, is easily accessible from Borgo Valsugana. All the artworks exposed in the meadows and forests are entirely made of natural materials. This historical town is overlooked by
Castel Telvana, an impressive fortress which was first mentioned in the 13th century and from where you can have a stunning view of the valley.
