Schlanders (Italian: Silandro) is a comune (municipality) in South Tyrol in the Italian region Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, located about 70 km northwest of the city of Trento and about 50 km west of the city of Bolzano (Bozen).
Overview
According to the 2001 census, 94.02% of the population speak German, 5.81% Italian and 0.17% Ladin as first language.[4]
Schlanders borders the following municipalities: Latsch, Laas, Mals, Martell, Schnals.
Schlanders is well-known because of its church tower (92 meters), which is also the highest in South Tyrol. Another attraction is the renovated castle, which now serves as a civic hall (including a public library).
The locality was mentioned for the first time officially on 13 June 1077 in a deed of donation, where the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV. handed over the town to Altwin, the Bishop of Brixen.[citation needed]
