The Museum Ladin "Ciastel de Tor" inside the beautiful castle of San Martino in Badia, also known as Ciastel de Tor, is dedicated to the history of the Dolomite valleys and to the Ladin-speaking population. The more than 30,000 Ladins of these valleys share a common language originating from vulgar latin, as well as the stunning natural landscape of the Dolomites.
The Museum Ladin "Ciastel de Tor", one of the provincial museums of South Tyrol, takes visitors on an interesting trip through the history, culture, archaeology, legends, geology, tourism and the local handicrafts of the Dolomite valleys. A part of the museum is devoted to the numerous traditions and customs of the Ladin valleys with the aim of keeping them alive. Special exhibitions, concerts and conferences on Ladin culture take place in the inner courtyard of the castle of San Martino in Badia.
Interesting fact: the Museum Ladin "Ursus Ladinicus" in San Cassiano, a few kilometres from the castle, is a detached section of the Museum Ladin "Ciastel de Tor" and tells about the bear of the Conturines.
The museum reopens in May 2026.
