WALTHER MONUMENT

... In the centre of the Walther square stands the Walther monument in neo Romanesque style made by the sculptor Heinrich Natter (1889) in white marble from Lasa. From 1935 to 1985 the Fascist Government ordered the monument to be placed in Parco Rosegger, just outside the very centre of the town.

VOCTORY MONUMENT 

... Crossing the Talvera Bridge we find ourselves in front of the imposing structure of the "Monumento della Vittoria" (Victory Monument–1926-28) made of Zadobbio marble.
The Fascist Government wanted its building (planned by the architect Marcello Piacentini) in order to celebrate the victory of the Italian army over the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the First World War.

CATHEDRAL 

... the mighty Gothic structure of the Duomo (cathedral), dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption. Its original structure built in Romanesque style by workers from Lombardy dates back to 1295. The work was continued in 1340 in Gothic style by Swabian workers and was finished at the beginning of the 15th century. The 65-metre high (approx. 200 feet) bell tower with its towering sandstone open-work spire is the work of the Swabian sculptor Hans Lutz von Schussenried (1501 – 1519).

Open to visit: 

Mon-Fri 10 a.m.-12 noon / 2 p.m.-5 p.m.

NEW OPENING 2008: THE  TREASURE OF THE CATHEDRAL
Tue-Sat 10-12am

DOMINICAN CHURCH

... the Dominican church with old cloister, built around 1270, is one of the first Gothic buildings of our Province. The chapel of St. John, the chapel of St. Catherine and the cloister are of great artistic importance due to the rich and splendid frescoes of the Gothic School of Padova (first half of the 14th century). In particular, the frescoes found in the Chapel of Saint John can be considered the “jewels” of Gothic picture in Bolzano and South Tyrol. The frescoes by Friedrich Pacher (1496) in the charming cloister are also of particular relevance.

CAPUCHIN CHURCH

... the Capuchin Church dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padova was built in 1600, on the same ground where Wendelstein Castle, the seat of the counts of Tyrol, once stood. Of particular interest is the Baroque high altar and the altar-piece showing the Saints Francis, Anthony and Andrew.

FRANCESCANI CHURCH

...The Gothic buildings date back to the first half of the fourteenth century. Behind the choir gallery, bathed in light streaming through the modern Josef Widmoser  glass windows is the wooden altar with doors carved by Hans Klocker (16th century).
This is definitely one of the most famous Gothic works of art preserved in a church at Bolzano. From the left side of the church we can reach the cloister with its three-lobed little arches, built at the beginning of the fourteenth century and decorated with an elaborate series of frescoes from the Gothic school (1330-40). Of particular interest is the chapel of Saint Erardo, which, according to popular belief, was visited by the young Saint Francis and his father.
