Museum of the Collegiate Church San Candido
In the shadow of the majestic Collegiate Church stands a building of no less historical importance with an exterior that has not been changed since the 16th century. The eastern part dates back to the 10th Century, when the Benedictine Convent, founded in 769 by Duke Tassilo III, still existed, and was transformed into a Collegiate Church sometime around 1143. The western part was built in 1385. Today's appearance dates back to the 16th century.
The ornamental paintings around the windows were realised by painters from the Bressanone School around 1550. The rooms on the ground floor served as storage rooms for food supplies, while the upper floors provided the religious chapter's room, the library, the archive, the dormitory and the work room for the librarians and the masters. Today, the building hosts the museum, the archive and the library of the Collegiate Church.

Dolomythos: Wonderworld of the "Pale Mountains"
In the centre of San Candido you get an insight into the fascinating world of the Dolomites. This is a journey to the beginning of our times and the fossilised proof, which has been preserved up to this date. The land that now holds the soaring Dolomiti peaks was once a tropical sea, and for millions of years inhabited only by ammonites: spectacular coral formations, the rock layers, the Daonella lomelli shell.
Admire the most beautiful fossils, the world of Alpine crystals, the formation of the Dolomites and how they changed over the course of the years, the research works of the 18th century, and the unforgettable legends.
Visiting times:
Daily from 9 a.m. - noon and 3 p.m. - 7 p.m., closed on Sundays.
No closing day from 15th of July to 10th of September and during the Christmas period.
