Although off the beaten path of mass tourism, Trento offers rather interesting monuments. Its architecture has a unique feel, with both Italian Renaissance and Roman influences. The city center is small, and most Late-Medieval and Renaissance buildings have been restored to their original pastel colours and wooden balconies. Part of the medieval city walls is still visible in Piazza Fiera, along with a circular tower. Once, these walls encircled the entire city and were connected to the Castello del Buonconsiglio.
The main monuments of the city include:
* '''''[[Trento Cathedral|Cattedrale di San Vigilio]]''''' (Cathedral of [[Saint Vigilius]]), also known as '''''Duomo di Trento''''' (12th–13thcentury) is a Romanesque-Gothic cathedral built on top of a late-Roman basilica (viewable in an underground crypt).
* '''''Piazza Duomo''''' (1767–1768), on the side of the cathedral, has frescoed Renaissance buildings and the Late Baroque Fountain of Neptune (''Fontana di Nettuno'').
* '''[[Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, Trento|Church of Santa Maria Maggiore]]''' (1520), site of the preparatory congregations of the Third Council of Trent (April 1562 – December 1563). It was built for Bishop [[Bernardo Clesio]] by the architect Antonio Medaglia in Renaissance-Gothic style. The façade has a notable 16th-century portal, while the interior has works by [[Giambettino Cignaroli]] and [[Gian Battista Moroni|Moroni]].
* '''''Castello del Buonconsiglio''''' ('''[[Buonconsiglio Castle]]''') (13th century), which includes a museum and the notable Torre dell'Aquila, with a cycle of fine Gothic frescoes depicting the months, was commissioned by the prince-bishop Georg von Lichtenstein.
* '''Church of San Pietro''' (12th century) features a neo-Gothic façade added in 1848–1850.
* '''Church of Sant'Apollinare''' (13th century) is a Gothic church.
* '''Church of San Lorenzo''' (12th century) features a Romanesque apse.
* '''''Torre Verde''''' ('''Green Tower'''), along the former transit path of the [[Adige]] river, is said to be where persons executed in the name of the Prince-Bishop were deposited in the river.
* '''''[[Palazzo delle Albere]]''''' ('''Palace of the Trees'''), a Renaissance villa next to the Adige river built around 1550 by the Madruzzo family, now hosting a modern art museum.
* '''''Palazzo Pretorio''''' (12th century), next to the Duomo, with a bell tower (''Torre Civica'') of the 13th century that now hosts a collection of baroque paintings of religious themes. It was the main Bishops' residence until the mid-13th century.
* '''''[[Palazzo Salvadori]]''''' (1515) is one of the first examples of Renaissance civil architecture in the city.
* '''''Palazzo Geremia''''' (15th century) features a Renaissance exterior and Gothic interiors.
* '''''Palazzo Lodron''''', built during the Council of Trent. The interior has a large fresco cycle.
* Various underground remains of the streets and villas of the Roman city (in Via Prepositura and Piazza Cesare Battisti).

Trento also sports [[modernist]] architecture, including the train station and the central post office, both by rationalist architect [[Angiolo Mazzoni]]. In particular, the train station (1934–36) is considered a landmark building of Italian railways architecture and combines many varieties of local stone with the most advanced building materials of the time: glass, reinforced concrete, metal. The post office was once decorated with colored windows by [[Fortunato Depero]], but these were destroyed during bombings in World War II. Other buildings of that time include the Grand Hotel by Giovanni Lorenzi with some guest rooms furnished with futurist furniture by Depero, and the "R. Sanzio" Primary School built in 1931–34 and designed by [[Adalberto Libera]].
