Villa Lagarina: Fountains, Nature and Trails

Fountains, Palazzo Libera and Filatoio di Piazzo

The historic centre of Villa Lagarina is characterised by public fountains made of worked stone, which form distinctive elements of the townscape.

A fountain in Piazza Riolfatti has been documented since the mid-16th century. It has an octagonal basin made of white limestone, as well as a carved and decorated dispensing column.

The first architectural complex of Palazzo Libera was built around the middle of the 17th century under the patronage of the Gasperini di Monte Vineato family.

The fountain in Piazza Riolfatti has been documented since the mid-16th century; the first architectural complex of Palazzo Libera, on the other hand, was built around the middle of the 17th century.

The Filatoio di Piazzo is one of the very few examples of a silk spinning and twisting mill. Inside, the camshaft intended for spinning and twisting, with its braces, as well as several work levels, have been preserved. Along the Percorso Destra Adige Lagarina, the designation hilly refers to changing uphill and downhill gradients along its route.

Lakes and protected landscape at Lago di Cei

Lago di Cei, together with Laghetto Lagabis, is one of the two depressions that form the protected Pra’ dell’Albi-Cei area.

Lago di Cei lies at an altitude of around 900 metres. Its shores are surrounded by old beech and fir trees. There is also species-rich aquatic and shoreline vegetation, including water lilies and the rare blue iris.

The Pra’ dall’Albi-Cei protected area is of great importance for the reproduction of many amphibian and reptile species and is also of ornithological interest because of its typical alpine bird species.

For nature enthusiasts, the species-rich aquatic and shoreline vegetation at Lago di Cei is the main attraction; the protected area is also of ornithological interest because of its typical alpine bird species.

Out and about on the Percorso Destra Adige Lagarina
