What see
- Roman villa. The Roman villa of Isera was discovered shortly after the Second World War, during the construction of the kindergarten. Archaeological investigations, coordinated by the Civic Museum of Rovereto, were undertaken for the first time in 1973 and continued in the following years thanks to the collaboration with the Lagarini Study Center and with the University of Trento, with the aim of excavating, studying and enhancing the monument, which soon revealed itself to be unique in its genre in the whole of Trentino-Alto Adige for its antiquity, richness and quality of architectural decoration, abundance and variety of finds. The archaeological excavations, conducted in the external area and under the floors of the nursery school, have allowed the illumination of the northern part of the ancient structure, which was also to develop towards the south below the current parish church of Isera.
- The villa, built in the Augustan age (late 1st century BC - early 1st century AD) and abandoned between the end of the 1st and the beginning of the 2nd century AD. due to a very violent fire, it was set up on a slope through an artificial masonry base (basis villae), articulated in terraces overlooking the valley, which have now completely disappeared. The excavated rooms include in the central-southern part a series of rectangular compartments arranged in a comb that can be interpreted both as living rooms and as environments for handling or servile activities, including a kitchen with fireplace, while to the north a complex of small rooms open to a quadrangular area must have constituted the private baths of the villa, equipped with a hypocaustum heating system; the façade was finally enlivened by an apsidal environment, probably interpretable as a nymphaeum.
- Castel Corno. The castle was built on a rocky spur and takes its name from this particular "horn" shape. The structure is in fact set on an ancient heap of landslide boulders, fallen from the current Mount Biaena. The castle occupies a total area of 2300 m3 (1450 m3 the lower part, 850 m3 the upper one), becoming a relatively small architectural complex. However, Castel Corno remains one of the most interesting and evocative fortified settlements in the area, especially considering that it is the result of an exceptional adaptation by man to the harsh nature of the place.
- The architectural ensemble of Castel Corno, as it appears to our eyes today, represents the result of a succession of building actions that have been variously superimposed and integrated over the centuries. The path inside the castle, which begins by passing the first door, today characterized by the presence of an iron gate, takes the form of a journey back in time, being the lower part of the architectural complex more recent than the upper portion. In fact, it is thought that the first was built to act as a logistical support to the upper part of the castle, which it is possible that it was originally accessed through a wooden ladder, which could possibly be retracted in case of danger.
- The complex, during its centuries-old history, was used above all as a defensive post for a captain and small garrisons. The residential areas were in fact reduced to a minimum in favor of structures for military use. The isolated nature of the place, the rather limited interior spaces and the news that come to us from some documents and inventories (which speak of a few benches, a table and little else) lead us to think that originally and for a long time the inhabitants of the castle have led a simple life without pomp. In fact, Castel Corno became a noble residence of a certain value only during the "Liechtenstein period", that is, in the sixteenth century.
- 1 Pradaglia Castle. It is a medieval castle now in ruins which is located in the municipality of Isera in the Province of Trento. The hill on which it stands has been inhabited since the Bronze Age as evidenced by the numerous archaeological finds found.
- Originally a fief of the Da Pradaglia family of the same name, upon their extinction it passed under the control of the prince-bishop of Trento who in 1197 imposed his steward on it. In reality, according to some documents, other local authorities also owned buildings within the walls of Castel Pradaglia such as the Castelbarco family and the surrounding communities, who had to take care of their maintenance.
- In 1214 Jacopo da Lizzana was invested with the castle who later rebelled against the episcopal power, leading to the siege and reconquest of the castle in 1234. After various changes of hands, in 1270 the manor was bought by the Castelbarco family of the Rovione line, who they kept it for about a century, and then sold it to the Castelbarco di Lizzana. In 1416 an agreement was reached for its transfer to Duke Federico IV of Habsburg, but still in 1450 it was in the hands of the Castelbarco family.
- It was besieged and destroyed by the Venetians during the war against the Habsburgs and its possessions passed to the mayor of Rovereto. Precisely in the context of this clash, Castel Pradaglia witnessed a famous event: in 1487 the duel between Antonio Maria Sanseverino, son of the Venetian leader, and the Swabian count Johann von Sonnenberg took place there.
- After the war with Venice the castle was no longer rebuilt and its ruins were used for agricultural purposes.
- During the First World War, given its strategic position, the hill where the ruins of the castle stand was fortified by the Austrians with the construction of some trenches, of which traces still remain today.
- In 2011 the castle and the hill were the subject of various restoration and enhancement works for tourism purposes.
- Postcard Museum. The Salvatore Nuvoli Museum of Postcards and Minor Collectibles was born in the eighties on the initiative of Carmelo Nuvoli, a collector who had previously set up some exhibitions of his collections in the area, and is dedicated to his father Salvatore.
- Other acquisitions and donations were subsequently added to the basic nucleus, consisting of the collection of Nuvoli himself, bringing the consistency of the museum's endowment to:
- - over 35,000 postcards of various kinds, in particular from the areas of Rovereto, Trentino-Alto Adige, with a military theme, advertising and designed by famous illustrators;
- - a library with about 5,000 volumes, of which 500 are specialized;
- -a collection of erinnofili, small stamps used in the past to close letters.
- For reasons of space, the collection is exhibited in rotation, with about 1,000 exhibits and about 1,500 others visible in catalogs and binders.
