MMM Firmian at Firmiano Castle

Description The castle stands on a raised area of porphyritic rock situated at the confluence of the river Adige and the river Isarco. The fort has always played a significant role: it is one of the oldest in the Alto Adige region, and with its walls that are in places as wide as five metres, it is one of the first examples of defensive architecture in the area. The heart of the "Messner Mountain Museum", at Firmiano castle near Bolzano, illustrates the relationship between men and mountains. The exhibition trail winds its way between the Massiccio dello Sciliar (mount Schlern) and the Gruppo di Tessa (massif) outside, and the art, installations, and exhibits on display inside.
