Palazzo delle Albere, Trento

Palazzo delle Albere is a Renaissance villa-fortress in Trento, northern Italy.

It takes its name (meaning "Palace of the Trees") from the rows of poplars that once led to the castle; it is surrounded by a park, now smaller than once because it is crossed by the Brenner Railway and partly occupied by the Trento Monumental Cemetery.

In the Great Hall, on the second floor, were once frescoes celebrating emperor Charles V's deeds.

According to legend, it was connected by a secret tunnel to the city's cathedral, which was used by the prince-bishops move unseen between them.

[1] From 1987 to 2011, Palazzo delle Albere was the seat of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto (MART).
