Maretsch Castle Painting Wallpaper

This Maretsch Castle painting wallpaper depicts Castel Mareccio in Bolzano, South Tyrol. One of northern Italy’s most photogenic medieval fortifications, its four distinctive round towers with terracotta-tiled conical roofs rising against the steep green slopes of the Alps. The castle dates to the 13th century, and the Römer family transformed it into its current Renaissance form during the 16th century. They added the towers and commissioned the beautiful frescoes that still line its interior halls. It has served as a state archive, survived centuries of changing ownership, and today functions as a conference and events venue. Maretsch Castle’s official site has its full history and visitor information.
