Castel Tirol
Built in the 12th century, this quickly became the very symbol of
the surrounding region (to which it gave its name, Tyrol). It was the
residence of the Counts of Tyrol until 1363, when the last surviving heir
gave up her title and handed over all her possessions to the Habsburgs.
Completely restored, it now houses a great museum. The hamlet of Castel
Tirolo is just outside of Merano and can be reached by car, or by bus
from the station. From there it is a pleasant half-hour walk to the castle.
