10 Churches & Cathedrals in Bolzano That You Shouldn't Miss
The capital of Italy’s northernmost region of South Tyrol, Bolzano (Bozen in German) has only been Italian since World War I, and its character remains distinctly Germanic. At the center of the town, Piazza Walther is named for a 13th-century German minstrel. The town’s most famous resident, Ötzi the Iceman, dates from about 3300 BC and now rests at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. The striking new building for Museion, the city’s modern and contemporary art museum, opened in 2008.

The Dominicans Church is near the main cathedral, in Bolzano city center. I think this is a must-visit when in Bolzano. The church itself is nice, not very ornate, but with good frescoes (damaged during WWII). What is really impressive is the presbitery at the church back, with a stunning Baroque ceiling in pink, and Saint John's chapel, with wonderful frescoes in the style of Giotto's school. Also these were damaged during WWII, but what's left is still incredibly beautiful.

This was my last stop on a Monday afternoon tour of some of the city's fine churches. 'The best until last' . Personally true. Open daily from 10 until 5.30pm and from 2.30pm on Sundays. Minutes away from the very fragrant but hot and busy Piazza Erbe, is complete cool, complete cloistered calm. The exterior wall and large trees are the first clue. Fantastic stained glass. A knockout of a Klocker altar (visit the Civic Museum to see his famous religious sculpture). Fine Frescoes and huge paintings depicting the saint's life. Sublime !

According to me, probably the most beautiful church in Bolzano. Close to the city center, this church hosts stunning frescoes an mosaics. When I visited, religious music played on the organ wasbroadcasted in the church, adding to the atmosphere of the place. This church is a true hidden gem in Bolzano!
