The centre of the South Tyrolean mountain village can be reached in only three minutes. In the centre you will find grocery stores, a shop with sports equipment, a bakery and small gift shops. Restaurants, cafes, pizzerias and a bank are also available. In addition, you have the opportunity to pay a visit to the wood sculpture studio. The largest building in the village and the centre of religious life in Maranza is the Church of the 3 Holy Virgins. The church was rebuilt in 1770 in Baroque style, and rests on the foundations of an earlier Gothic building.
Holidays in Maranzain the footsteps of history
The territory of Maranza is an ancient settlement area. Pre-Christian settlement traces have been found behind the farm Gasslerhof. At the old footpath to Maranza there is the so-called “Alte Kuchl”, a rock niche, where shards of pre-Christian centuries were discovered. The granite lined trail from Maranza to Rio di Pusteria is a relic from the early days. A memorial called “Jungfrauenrast ” recalls a rest of the Three Virgins Aubet, and Cubet. An ancient trade route once led through the Pusteria Valley up to Swabia, and Maranza was connected via a driveway with this historic trade route.
