Madonna della Torricella church

The Madonna della Torricella church is a Renaissance building in Castello Tesino featuring a classical temple facade with four columns and symmetrical access ramps. A bell tower topped with a dome rises from the southern side of the structure.

Construction of the church began between 1603 and 1604 under the patronage of the Wolkenstein Rodenegg family to house a sacred Madonna image dating from 1521. The building followed decades of reported miracles attributed to the religious image.

The interior walls display murals painted in the 1920s by artist Ubaldo Tasselli, representing religious themes and local traditions.

The church is best visited during posted opening hours, which are typically limited to afternoon times. It is wise to confirm current access times before planning a visit, as seasonal schedules may vary.

The interior walls bear murals from the 1920s created by local artist Ubaldo Tasselli depicting religious and local subjects. These painted works add a modern artistic layer to the Renaissance structure and reflect the community's artistic engagement during that period.
