The garden with kiosk/toilet is also accessible without admission - a nice place for a refreshment with a view over Arco.

Arco Castle sits enthroned high atop a mighty rocky hill. Its steep walls watch over the Sarca Valley and, of course, the small town of Arco, whose historic center lies in a semicircle around the slopes of the hill. The first documents about the castle date back to the 12th century, although the first settlements are said to have been established here as early as 300 BC.

Inside the magnificent castle, visitors can visit a prison, as well as the great tower and numerous stately halls and chambers. A true gem is the secular fresco cycle from the 14th century, depicting personalities and court life: from noble ladies and noblemen playing chess to Saint George slaying the dragon and brave knights.

Arco Castle is also the town's landmark and one of the most famous testimonies to Trentino's glorious past. It has been immortalized in many paintings and engravings, including a watercolor by Albrecht Dürer, which now hangs in the Louvre in Paris.

Arco Castle can be visited and is a 20-minute walk from the village center.

The climb through the olive grove to the castle is worth in any weather. Even if you do not go all the way to the top, there are always great views!
