Archaeological park, life in Middle Ages

On the southern slope of Monte San Giorgio there is the village of Tremona. On the hill behind, covered by woods, archaeologists have unearthed an entire medieval village.

A visit to Tremona-Castello archaeological Park offers a real insight into how people lived during the times when the medieval village was inhabiteted. Indeed, archaeological excavations taking place annually since 2000 have unearthed thousands of artefacts of daily life.
Archaeologists have discovered more than fifty different buildings, including houses, a church, stores, a blacksmith's and a tower.

Walking through its streets, it's almost as if you can hear the noise of the blacksmith's workshop. Can you hear the hammer?
The park offers a detailed reconstruction of history and daily life in this rural mediaeval village thanks to a route lined with information boards and an augmented reality experience that takes you straight back to the Middle Ages when you put on the 3D glasses.
