Fondazione Caritro - Sala Conferenze

The Diocesan Museum is located in the splendid Piazza Duomo, next to the Cathedral of San Vigilio, in Palazzo Pretorio. In its rooms it exhibits a rich heritage of art and culture ranging from the 11th to the 19th century: paintings, wooden sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, iconographic testimonies of the Council of Trent, precious goldsmith's art, ancient embroideries and sumptuous Flemish tapestries. The museum also manages the early Christian Basilica of San Vigilio, the Porta Veronensis (1st century AD), or the ancient monumental entrance to the Roman Tridentum, and the Civic Tower, which with its 45 meters high is the unmistakable symbol of the city.

In the heart of the historic centre, Piazza del Duomo is Trento's “sitting room” where tourists and locals rub shoulders, surrounded by Renaissance palaces, the crenelated walls of Palazzo Pretorio and the lateral nave of the cathedral, dedicated to the city’s patron saint, San Vigilio.

In this square there is the Bookstore, the Library of the Festival of Economics.

Standing in the shadow of the ancient ramparts, for a long time Piazza Fiera was the beating heart of the city's markets and commerce, hence its name (which means “fair” or “market”). The wide open spaces make Piazza Fiera ideal for hosting large business events, as well as cultural and musical gatherings. It serves as an important intersection for the city’s public transport, and the underground multi-storey car park means it is easily accessible by car.
