Hotels near Piazza Duomo

Piazza Duomo, Trento's grand main square, is home to the city's large Christmas tree, set up beside the Baroque Neptune Fountain and the Romanesque Cathedral of San Vigilio. The square is surrounded by frescoed Renaissance houses and the Palazzo Pretorio, all lit up for the festive season.

The cathedral is famous as the setting of the Council of Trent, held in the 16th century, which shaped the Catholic Church for centuries.

The square is a short walk from the market squares, and the surrounding streets are decorated with lights, making it a natural stop between the stalls of the Trento Christmas market.

Pro Tip: Visit Piazza Duomo at dusk to see the tree and the frescoed facades lit up, then step inside the cathedral to admire its Romanesque interior.
