Sigmundskron Castle

On 9 June 2006 the MMM (Messner Mountain Museum Firmian) was opened in this fortified castle dating to the Late Middle Ages.

The first historical mention of the castle, under the name Formicaria (later Formigar), dates back to AD 945.

Of the old castle of Formigar there are only a few remnants left today, mostly located on the highest point of the site.

During construction work a Neolithic grave was discovered in March 2006, in which a woman's skeletal remains were found.

In 1957, under the leadership of Silvius Magnago, the largest protest rally in the history of South Tyrol was held here.
