Early Christian basilica of Saint Vigilius

The basilica extends 43 meters in length and 14 meters in width, featuring three entrance doors and remains of original mosaic decorations near the chancel.

The fourth-century basilica became the burial site for missionaries Sisinius, Martyrius, and Alexander, who died in Val di Non during year 397.

The basilica transformed from a cemetery structure into a cathedral between the ninth and tenth centuries, marking the evolution of religious practices in Trento.

The archaeological site offers multimedia stations and virtual reality headsets, with entrance fees ranging from 2 to 12 euros depending on visitor categories.

The central hall contains the ark of San Vigilio, a funeral monument preserving the remains of Trento's patron saint beneath the current cathedral.
