Am Eingang des Martelltales im Vinschgau erheben sich die beiden eindrucksvollen Ruinen Ober- und Untermontani. Die in unmittelbarer Nähe gelegene Kapelle St. Stephan ist wegen ihrer vollständigen Ausmalung aus dem 15. Jahrhundert ein kunsthistorisches Juwel Südtirols.

Every booklet in this series presents an important medieval fortress, a castle, a stately home or a fortified complex in central Europe. The carefully and competently written texts, the ample number of photographs and the many drawings and plans provide both experts and booklovers interested in history and culture with state-of-the-art research on castles. In addition to extraordinary architectural photographs, many specially created drawings illustrate previous forms and buildings, while information boxes analyse various subjects and provide the main historical data.
