Coredo emerges on a wide plateau, called “Altopiano della Predaia”, in a panoramic position and appears as a balcony on the Valle di Non, Dolomites of Brenta and the mountain chain of the Maddalene. Tourism and Coredo are well combined with the rhythms and traditions of country life, slopes of the “altopiano” cultivated with apple orchards, the phases of the rustic nature with its spectacular flowering apple trees in May and the harvest in the fall. |
Coredo boasts an ancient tourist tradition which is significantly proved by a few villas made in the dawning of the twentieth century. The historic centre of the town gravitates around the square. The Renaissance church, built between 1943 and 1948, overlooks the square. The tiny church of the “Madonna Addolorata” (1861) boasts a very precious baroque altar.

a crenulated building from the XV century and ancient Episcopal jurisdictional see, offers an interesting cycle of courteous tradition and portrays the vicissitudes of Genoveffa of Brabante, Queen of France, punished for adultery. In 1614, in the courtyard opposite the “Palazzo Nero”, a witch trial was held. At the end of the trial about ten people were found guilty and sent to the stakes. The castle of Coredo, now in ruins, is from the XII century. On the road to Taio, about three km from the town, emerges Castle Braghèr, one of the best kept aristocratic residences in Trentino. The castle, with its 70 rooms and valuable art pieces, is still lived in. You can take a walk from Coredo to the artificial lakes of Coredo and Tavon , these lakes are organized for sport fishing, to Saint Romedio built on Coredo’s land, to the pastures of Predaia, or walk along the “Viale dei Sogni” “The Avenue of Dreams”. 2 km north from Coredo is Tavon, a portion of Coredo, where an Etruscan inscription was discovered. The Saint Sisto church was built in 1344.
