Borgo Valsugana
Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia
Borgo's old town is the only one in Trentino built on both banks of a river, its houses facing each other across the Brenta where the Valsugana narrows between two low mountains. Once the Roman Ausugum on the Via Claudia Augusta, it has always lived on trade along the valley, and its main street still carries the old name. Castel Telvana looks down on it.
Highlights
- The historic centre lining both banks of the Brenta
- Castel Telvana, largely built in 1331 and enlarged in the 16th century (IT)
- Corso Ausugum, the main street named after the Roman town
