Description

From a window of Tirol castle a view of Tirol village, a comune (municipality) in the province of South Tyrol in northern Italy, located about 25 km northwest of the city of Bolzano.It borders with a number of other municipalities, the most important being Meran. The rows are vineyards of very known wines, mostly white. The coat-of-arms shows an eagle of gules (the tincture with the colour red in heraldry) beaked and membered of or on argent background, surmounted by a vert lime branch. The insignia has medieval origin and it's the coat of the Counts of Tirol who took the name from the Tirol Castle. According to the 2011 census, 96.89% of the population speak German, 2.89% Italian and 0.22% Ladin as first language. The Ladin (Italian: Ladino German: Ladinisch), is a language consisting of a group of dialects (which some consider part of a unitary Rhaeto-Romance language) spoken in the Dolomite Mountains in Northern Italy in the provinces South Tyrol, Trentino and Belluno. The Reti or Raeti are considered the native inhabitants of the region, whose culture goes back to the late bronze Age, at the least. The Ladin language is closely related to the Swiss Romansh and Friulian. Therefore, the area is actually tri-lingual. Thanks for your kind comments.

What a truly sensational capture this is Sandra, and it must be seen in full size view to be properly taken in. One might expect the castle to have a nice view of the area, but this is a sight to behold. The way the houses and vineyards are laid out here is so appealing and the mountains in the background are awe inspiring.
