Piazza del Duomo

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.

The courtyard of a former Augustinian monastery in Vicolo San Marco in Trento is now home to the Centre for International Cooperation and the OECD Centre. The first stone of the building was laid in 1273 and it has been renovated a number of times. The beautiful Augustinian cloister dates back to the time of the Council of Trent.

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.
