Holiday apartment in Mollaro: discover art, the lake and mountain peaks

Mollaro combines impressive art history with special destinations in the surrounding area. The Chiesa di San Marco, Lago di Mollaro, underground apple storage facilities, and several castles and mountain peaks give your stay a range of different themes. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Mollaro, you will find inspiration here for a trip where culture, nature and regional discoveries stand side by side.

Art and history in the Chiesa di San Marco

The Chiesa di San Marco in Mollaro was newly built and expanded in 1852. Its façade is decorated with a fresco of Saint Mark by Carlo Bonacina, created in 1946. Inside, there is a marble high altar that was created in 1853 together with the altarpiece decorating it. The painting by Luigi de Guarnieri depicts the Madonna with Saints Mark and Anthony.

The church also contains two works inherited from the former church: a 16th-century painting of Saint Andrew and an 18th-century painting of Saint Francis. This means that in Mollaro, you encounter various periods of art history in one specific place – from the depiction of Saint Andrew to the 20th-century fresco. For travellers interested in culture, this creates a clear focus beyond purely scenic impressions.

Apple storage facilities, railway station and Lago di Mollaro

MondoMelinda offers guided tours of underground apple storage facilities 300 metres below ground in the old Rio Maggiore mine. MondoMelinda can be reached by the Trento–Malé–Mezzana railway to Mollaro station, followed by a walk of approximately eight minutes. This connection makes the visit a distinctive experience centred on regional apple growing and the unusual underground location.

Lago di Mollaro also offers a distinctive feature. In the local fishing regulations for 2025, the lake is listed as open from 1 January to 30 September. In the local fishing table for 2025, natural and artificial bait are listed as permitted there. Anyone wishing to include this focus in their trip can use the information about the lake as a concrete guide for planning.

Castles and mountain peaks in the surrounding area

The surrounding area of Mollaro is home to Castel Thun, Castello di Cles and the ruins of Castel Sporo Rovina. The peaks Cima d'Arza, Monte Cuc, Bodrina and Corno di Tres are also located nearby. The Museo Storico delle Truppe Alpine is also situated in the wider regional area around Mollaro.

These different destinations give Mollaro a diverse profile: the Chiesa di San Marco represents art and local history, MondoMelinda the world of apples underground, Lago di Mollaro a water-based theme, and the castles, ruins and mountain peaks the broader regional perspective. When choosing your holiday apartment, you can therefore consider whether you would like to shape your stay primarily around culture, nature or a combination of several of these interests.
