Palazzo Tabarelli

The Palazzo is one of the best examples of Renaissance architecture in Trento, and evokes similar buildings located in Bologna and Ferrara; it is also the only 16th century residence in town with walls decorated with ashlar and rose-colored stones.

The palace was built on Medieval former structures between 1512 and 1527 as the residence of the Tabarelli de Fatis noble family. The stone medallions - coeval work by Verona-based Alessio Longhi, who also designed the building - illustrate renowned historical figures (Bernardo Cles, Maximilian I, Charles V, Roman emperors). Six of these, however, were sculpted in the 18th century and added when the upper part of the façade was finished.
The underlying archaeological area hosts the remains of an urban block dated back to Roman «Tridentum».
