Overview
Orange Flag of the Touring Club Italiano
Bright and beautiful like the Tyrolean cities, Vipiteno, located at the junction of the Isarco, Ridanna, and Vizze valleys, was a natural stopping point along the Brenner Pass road and thus a place for markets and intense activity. It reached its peak in the 15th and 16th centuries, with several architectural interventions in the city and commissions for works of art.
In the historic center, the Civic Tower divides the old town from the new one, with aligned houses characterized by imaginative wrought-iron, painted, and gilded signs. Notable places to visit include the Church of the Holy Spirit, with frescoes by Giovanni da Brunico, and the Civic Museum, which houses the remaining parts of the high altar from the parish church, a work by Hans Multscher.
Among the most important events are the Sagra dei Canederli (second Sunday of September) and the Christmas Market (from late November to Epiphany).
