The panoramic hills of Tregnago and the ruins of the ancient castle
The hilly ridges that dominate the municipal
area of Tregnago are rich in historical
evidence and hide corners of rare scenic
beauty. This itinerary will allow us to discover
its peculiarities: from the ruins of
the ancient castle, the panoramic slopes
of Monte Precastiolo, the luxuriant woods
towards Precastio, to Croce del Vento,
an important crossroad on the ridge
and point of connection with the Vecia Via della Lana.
The ruins of this ancient castle are located just above the town, on the eastern slope of the Precastio and Precastiolo hills. The castle was built over a Roman structure between the 11th and 12th centuries. It was part of a complex network of fortifications built in order to defend the villages of Val d’Illasi.
