Its
castles and
churches,
central arcades and
city gates all tell the history of
Medieval Merano/Meran at the centre of old Tyrol. Its magnificent 19th Century buildings and promenades along the Passer river recall the flamboyant days of the Belle Époque. With its many
tourist sights, Merano's historic buildings and monuments in the town centre coexist with the latest examples of contemporary architecture. Enriching its cultural life are long-established institutions, as well as a plethora of museums and exhibitions.
