Bressanone, Italy

Our first stop in Italy and last stop before hiking for several days

 

Bressanone is a walled city in northern Italy, just south of the Austrian border.
It is known as the “Bishop’s city,” and has a Bishop’s palace, churches, monasteries and cloisters.
It is also known by its German name, Brixen. German is the first language of more than 70% of the residents
in Bressanone-Brixen and the surrounding area, known as South Tyrol.
