The formerly independent municipality of Mantana became a hamlet of the municipality of S. Lorenzo in 1928. It extends at 863 m a.s.l., has 280 inhabitants and is the last German-speaking locality before the Ladin-speaking area. Mantana is situated in a wonderful verdant landscape at the entrance to the Val Badia, away from the road.

The locality was first mentioned as "Monthal" in the 11th century, whereas in 1800 its name was changed to "Mantan". In the centre stands the Gothic church with its impressive tower from 1492. The altar inside the building shows works by Josef Renzler. The Unterguggenberger Hof farm with the St. Mary chapel was built in 1805 by the farmer Josef Kronbichler. Its external façade is decorated with frescoes by Johann Renzler, a painter from S. Lorenzo.

In Mantana you can practise several sports: the Hotel Alpenrose features a bowling alley and the Hotel Lanerhof is complete with football fields. In the village starts a fitness trail with several fitness installations and in winter an ice rink is set up at the Rossbühel in Mantana.
