Glurns

Glorenza is the only South Tyrolean city that has intact city walls. Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg built these. They have semicircular doors and towers. The patrol paths, seven watchtowers, three gates make up the defensive structure of the city which, despite the predominance of sixteenth-century architectural forms, reveals the Roman origin of the settlement

The current church is from the end of the 15th century; the ancient Roman influences in the church architecture is in its bell tower. The Baroque-style onion dome is a seventeenth-century addition. The north wall of the bell tower shows a large fresco of the Last Judgment of the school of Michael Pacher from 1496.
