The territory of Tenno is characterised by striking contrasts: in the
lower part, the Cologna and Gavazzo hamlets, there are gentle slopes of
olive trees; in the upper part, the antique districts of Canale and Calvola,
the vegetation and landscape lose their Mediterranean characteristics
and acquire Alpine ones. Tenno is an ancient place and joins
valleys of primary importance. Today it is characterised by its castle,
constructed on a Roman foundation in a strategic position reigning over the
valley with Lake Garda further down. The enchanting medieval district of
Frapporta is at the top of the rock of San Lorenzo and begins at
the castle. The little church of San Lorenzo is at the far end of the
inhabited area. A visit to the Canale district is a must. Here houses
are joined to a central building constructed in the form of a fortress with
arches and lobbies. Here one feels an atmosphere of times past among
porticoes and alleys.
