Tyrolean Town Bruneck South Tyrol Italy

The Tyrolean town of Bruneck in the South Tyrol, Italy sits in a valley and is backdropped by the majestic snowcapped Alps.

When the Tyrolean town of Bruneck in the South Tyrol, Italy was established in the 13th century by the Bishop Bruno von Kirchberg, it was just a little narrow street with a few houses on either side. Bruneck - the Italians know it as Brunico - was first chronicled in 1256 (February 23rd).

As Bruneck, in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of the South Tyrol, was developed, discoveries of Stone Age relics were uncovered, which means there were inhabitants in the area in the Iron and Bronze Ages.
