Kerken in Merano

Stad van kerken en kerkgenootschappen

Merano/Meran was in de 19de eeuw een geliefde kuurstad voor de Europese adel. De stad telt dan ook vele fraaie kerken en religieuze monumenten die getuigen van de rijke geschiedenis. In tegenstelling tot de rest van Tirol kende Merano in die tijd naast de vele katholieke kerken ook een evangelische en een orthodoxe kerk, alsmede een synagoge. En sinds lang biedt Merano tevens onderdak aan een boeddhistisch centrum en een islamitische gebedshuis.

De kerken en andere sacrale bouwwerken in Merano dateren van de middeleeuwen tot diep in de 20ste eeuw en weerspiegelen de veranderende tijdperken en bouwstijlen. Zo zijn er romaanse kerken met drie apsissen, maar ook gotische parochiekerken. Vaak zijn ze nog steeds in gebruik, en ze kunnen op eigen houtje of in het kader van rondleidingen worden bezocht.
