Rocca di Riva

The Rocca di Riva features stone walls, four corner towers, and a small bridge crossing a canal that mirrors the surrounding gardens.

First mentioned in 1124, the castle underwent transformations during the rule of Prince-Bishops of Trento, particularly under Bernardo Clesio's leadership.

The Municipal Museum inside the Rocca displays local artifacts, Bronze Age stele statues, and archaeological findings from prehistoric stilt settlements.

Museum entry costs 5 euros, with access to the castle gardens available outside regular museum hours for outdoor activities.

The castle transformed from a military fortress into a museum, preserving archaeological collections that document the region's evolution from prehistory through modern times.
