Perched on a rocky ridge dominating the entire basin of the Outer Giudicaria, Stenico Castle still appears as an impressive and massive fortress. However, various additions and modifications over the centuries have given the complex the appearance of an elegant residence.

The castle was the property of the Prince-Bishops of Trent and the seat of the Captain of the Giudicaria. For centuries, it represented an important outpost of the Prince-Bishopric's administration and served as a summer residence for the sovereign.

Sober, austerely furnished rooms for administrative purposes alternate with ancillary rooms and well-kept reception rooms with valuable Renaissance frescoes.

The Chapel of St. Martin dates back to the early Middle Ages. It contains a valuable cycle of paintings from the early 13th century and was recently restored. The walls depict scenes from the life of Jesus, scenes from the Apocalypse, and figures of saints.

Built in the 12th century on a pre-existing castle site, Castel Stenico is located in a highly strategic point - the castle in fact has an observation point over the entire territory to the west of the regional capital. Today the castle is the seat of the UNESCO biosphere as regards the area of the Ledrensi and Giudicarie Alps.

A visit is a must. Interesting, well-preserved interior. In addition to the Capella di San Martino (St. Martin's Chapel) with frescoes from the 13th century, other things worth seeing are the series of furnished rooms, an archaeological area and a valuable collection of carved furniture, frescoes and old weapons from the Museo Castello del Buonconsiglio (Museum of the Buonconsiglio Castle) in Trento.
