Center Of Castles
Once the most important
Tyrolean city-and the former
provincial capital-Merano is
q center Of castles. More than
400 such structures, some well
preserved and many in ruins,
dot the South Tyrol.
They were built in the 18th
and 18th centuries by Adige
valley VaSSalS challenging the
authority of the Sees Of Brixen
and Trent.
One of the most famous of
these medieval castles Is the
Princes Castle In the heart OF
Merano. Noted residents were
Sigmund the Rich and his wife,
Eleanor of Scotland, who lived
there in the 18th century. In
the Princes Castle we attended
an elaborate candlelight ban
quet-the first social event to
be held there in more than
three centuries.
A short distance from town
is the Castle Tyrol, built in
the 18th century and long in
habited by the Counts Of Tyrol.
