Glurns, Medieval commune in South Tyrol, Italy
The town features complete medieval fortification walls enclosing the historic center, with three preserved gate towers marking the entrances to the settlement.
The settlement received its first documented mention in 1163 during the Carolingian era and obtained official town status from Meinhard II of Gorizia-Tirol in 1290.
The Paul Flora Museum displays permanent collections of drawings and prints, representing the artistic heritage of this notable South Tyrolean illustrator.
Visitors can reach the town via the Vinschgau train from Merano to Mals, followed by a connection on Citybus line 274 from the station.
The PUNI distillery, established within the town walls, produces single malt whisky using regional grain and Alpine water from surrounding mountains.
