Immersed in the peaceful countryside, surrounded by vineyards and quiet roads, Rovereto is known because of its association with the Great War. Within its historic center, which rests at the feet of the imposing Veneto Castle, there are traces of the town's past and of its domination by the Serenissima. To visit: the Italian History Museum of the War, the Depero Gallery, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the Civic Museum, the Military Cemetery of Castel Dante, the Hermitage of St Colombano and the monumental Bell of peace. A great number of areas have been created for sporting activities such as archery, bowls, and tennis. Excursionists will enjoy the countryside which constitutes, with the slopes of the Trentino dinosaurs, a kind of open air museum. In the immediate vicinity of Rovereto one finds the Lavini di Marco, a wild and arid land, which because of a number of landslides, is of great geological interest.
