Welcome to Sover!
Hello everyone, today I will talk to you about one of the most beautiful municipalities in the province of Trento: Sover! Also known as ''Soér'' in the Trentino dialect, it is a perfect destination for those looking for peace, tranquility, and natural beauty. This municipality, located in the Val di Cembra, has 774 inhabitants and is easily accessible by car or bus. In this article, I will take you on a journey of discovery through Sover, telling you a little about its history, monuments and places of interest, demographic evolution, administration, notes, and external links.
History
Sover's history dates back to the pre-Roman period when the territory was inhabited by the Rhaetians. In the Middle Ages, the municipality was ruled by the Bishop of Trento and subsequently passed under the authority of different noble families. In 1810, Sover became part of the Kingdom of Italy and later became part of the district of Cembra, until becoming an autonomous municipality in 1929.
Monuments and places of interest
Sover's artistic and cultural heritage is vast and interesting. Among the main monuments to visit, I recommend:
Church of San Lorenzo: dating back to the 11th century, it is located in the center of the village and has a Gothic and Romanesque architecture. Among the main works preserved inside, I would highlight the altarpiece by the Baroque painter Francesco Conz.
Church of San Leonardo: located in the hamlet of Montesover, this church dates back to the 13th century and has a beautiful bell tower with a pyramid-shaped spire.
Church of Santa Barbara: located in the hamlet of Piscine, this church dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and has a neo-Gothic façade.
