Tower of memories in the Keep

South Tyrol in the 20th century

What happened during the period of “die Option”, the South Tyrol Option Agreement? What does autonomy mean for South Tyrol and how did this shape its political path? If you want to find out more about the history of South Tyrol in the 20th century then you should look at the impressive presentation in the Keep!

Since 2003 the Keep has been the home to a permanent exhibition covering the history of South Tyrol in the 20th century. In 2016 the exhibition was given a make-over. The historical events are illustrated with the help of no fewer than 400 objects.

In addition, the top level of the Keep is used to display contemporary art and, from time to time, themes relating to contemporary history are developed further here.

Virtual Tour

The ‘Tower of Memory’ can also be visited by means of a virtual tour designed for all those who want to visit the permanent exhibition from the comfort of their homes or for those who have not been able to tackle the ascent of the tower to the top floor.

It has also been enriched by a didactic format created specifically for teachers who want to explore certain aspects in depth by working in class with their pupils.
