Runkelstein castle. South Tyrol
The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano is where the ice-mummy "Ötzi" is
Runkelstein castle impresses with its unique mural paintings, the greatest cycle of medieval frescoes with secular themes, well conserved.
The romanesque castle was erected by the brothers Friedrich and Beral of Wangen, Lords, in 1237. From this really favourable strategic positionn it was possible to contol the trade route to or from the North.
In 2008 Bolzano has been one of the locations in the region Trentino-Alto Adige where the seventh edition of the world renowned Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art has been held.
