National Historic Houses Day: free visits in Trentino‑Alto Adige

When: Sunday 24 May 2026. Admission: free.

ADSI Trentino‑Alto Adige takes part in the 16th National Historic Houses Day, an event that opens privately owned historic residences to the public to highlight local architectural and cultural heritage. The initiative encourages people to discover palaces, villas and castles often outside standard tourist routes and promotes awareness and protection of historical memory.

The 2026 theme, “Guardians of the future. A living heritage for shared value”, emphasizes the shared responsibility to safeguard historic properties so they can be passed on to future generations.

• More than ten historic houses open across Trentino‑Alto Adige, including palaces, villas and private residences.
• Guided visits and curated routes offered thanks to the contribution of ADSI members.
• Representative sites (indicative): Villa Margon, Villa Cesarini Sforza, Palazzo de Dal Lago, Palazzo Buffa, Palazzo Aliprandini Laifenthurn, Maso dell'Ischia, the gardens and courtyards of the Baroque palaces in Ala town centre, Castello di Terlago.

For the complete, regularly updated list of open houses and visit times consult the organisers' official website. The day is a concrete chance to explore local architecture, stories and traditions while supporting conservation and enhancement efforts.

Practical tips: check schedules on the ADSI portal before leaving; some properties may require booking or have limited access.
