Glurns Historic Town Center
Highlight • Historical Site
The smallest town in South Tyrol - Glurns - looks back on an eventful history and a great past as a late medieval trading center. The still completely preserved city walls with their imposing gates and defense towers give the town a unique character. Historic arcades, charming alleys, noble town houses - the city itself is a cultural treasure in and of itself.
Idyllically located in the Vinschgau valley, surrounded by majestic mountains and a picturesque natural landscape, the area around Glurns also offers exciting activities. Enjoy the flair of our small town and the many advantages of the Vinschgau cultural region.

Glurns Town Square
Highlight • Settlement
Today, the Glurns town square is the link between the lower and upper town. The temporarily traffic-calmed square with the two large horse chestnut trees and a drinking water fountain invites you to linger. From the round bench under the tree or from the seats in front of the cafés, you can watch the hustle and bustle in a relaxed manner. On church holidays, processions with flags, statues, bands and deputations from local associations march across the town square to the parish church. On market days and on the occasion of festivals and celebrations, busy social life takes place on the Glurns town square.

Highlight • Historical Site
Glurns in the Vinschgau is not only the smallest town in the southern Alps, but also has a famous citizen: Paul Flora, who was born in Glurns on June 29, 1922 and became famous for his drawings and book illustrations. Paul Flora also worked for 25 years as a caricaturist for the weekly newspaper "Die Zeit" and created stage sets throughout the German-speaking world, such as those for "Amphitryon" (Kleist) in the Akademietheater in Vienna (1963) and for "The King Dies" (Ionesco) in the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg (1998).
