The municipality of Calceranica al Lago has ancient origins. The Museo della Miniera, a museum at the last floor of the town hall retraces the history of mineral extraction in this village from its dawn to the mid-20th century.
Lake Caldonazzo below the village with its docks and both verdant and sandy beaches awaits you for relaxing moments. Otherwise you can stroll along the promenade and sip a coffee or have a bite to eat at the numerous bars and restaurants. The promenade is connected to the small railway station and to the sports centre. In summer the lake is crossed by several sailing boats and canoes.
The St. Ermete church, formerly dedicated to the Goddess Diana, was built in 1000 on a rock and is the most ancient church of the entire Valsugana. This religious monument in Romanesque-Greek style features a pre-Romanesque bell tower and is worth a visit. The small church fascinates visitors not only for the amazing panoramic position it was built in, but also for its simple shapes. Another monument worth visiting is the pieve dell'Assunta in Gothic-Renaissance style which houses a precious organ by Venetian organ builder Gaetano Antonio Callido.
