Casa del Porfido Albiano - museo del porfido trentino
A visit to Casa Porfido is an immersion in a unique world of history and tradition: the world of the Trentina stone used to adorn houses and pave streets and squares all over the world. Visitors have the opportunity to interact with the content of the museum by activating the panels in each room, which give an extremely precise illustration of the history and structure of the earth and of the Cembra Valley, methods of extracting and working the stone, its use, and the re-greening of disused quarry areas. At our museum you'll learn to distinguish porphyry from other rocks, find out about the origin of earth and the phenomena surrounding it and explore the origins, development and experience of our love of porphyry and the professions linked to its use.
