Artists town Chiusa: medieval charm in the Isarco Valley
The small artists’ town of Chiusa offers a medieval town centre, crossed by narrow, winding streets. From the Inn Ansitz Fonteklaus you may reach the fascinating town in a few minutes by car or a one-hour walk. The cobbled streets are lined with houses with decorated fronts, while historic inn signs point the way to quaint taverns. Admire the precious Loreto Treasure in the city museum during your holiday in Chiusa. It is a valuable collection of works of art, which in the early 18th century was donated by the Spanish Queen Maria Anna. An interesting hiking destination is the Monastery of Sabiona, perched on an impressive peak above Chiusa – in the past it was the bishop’s seat.
