Museo Diocesano Tridentino
The Tridentine Diocesan Museum is located in Piazza Duomo close to the San Vigilio Cathedral, in the Palazzo Pretorio, which was in the Upper Middle Ages the residence of the Prince-Bishops of Trento. The museum, founded in 1903, displays a rich heritage of art and culture ranging from the 11th to the 19th century: paintings, wooden sculptures, rich vestments, illuminated manuscripts, iconographic testimonies of the Council of Trento, precious goldsmithery, ancient embroidery and sumptuous Flemish tapestries. You can also find the cathedral treasure with the large processional urn of St. Vigilius. The museum also houses the early Christian Basilica of St. Vigilius, the Porta Veronensis (1st century A.D.) and the 45-metre high Civic Tower, the unmistakable symbol of the city.
