The Archeoparc of Villandro (Archeoparc Villanders) is located roughly 12 kilometres southwest of Archeoparc Velturno, also in the Isarco Valley. Archaeological finds from the Plunacker field and its surroundings span 7,000 years, ranging from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze Age to the Roman era. The site was discovered by chance during excavation work in 1976.

In the 1980s, the Bolzano Monuments Office unearthed several buildings. In 2009, the Archeoparc opened to the public. Covering approximately 1,600 sqm, it showcases the roofed remains of four buildings from the Roman and medieval periods. The accompanying permanent exhibition is housed in the school building of Santo Stefano, the main village of the municipality of Villandro.

There, you can admire amphorae, utensils such as combs, and other artefacts. Thanks to the stratified layers from different phases of the Neolithic, belonging to an extensive settlement, Villandro is now considered one of the most important archaeological sites in the Alpine region.

How to get there: The Archeoparc is situated at the Plunacker, near the village centre and the tourist information office of Villandro. The aforementioned other excavation site in the Valle Isarco, the Archeoparc Velturno, is about 12 kilometres away.
