Pozzo, bordering on San Antonio, is the smallest locality of the municipality of Caldaro
Above Pozzo the Caldaro High Route passes by, which runs between the ‘Kalterer Höhe’ and Termeno on the Wine Road.
The tiny district of Pozzo (Pfuss or Pfuß, in German), which adjoins Sant'Antonio, is the smallest district of the municipality. Below it are the alleyways of the main village, above towers the mighty Mendola, the mountain ridge that forms the natural border between South Tyrol and Trentino. The stream that flows from the Mendola Pass towards the valley is known as the 'Pfußer Lahn'.
But as small as Pozzo may be, there is a church here, as in every South Tyrolean village. And like the other village churches, it also has a centuries-long history to tell - at least the one that is documented, as many churches stand on the remains of early Christian places of worship and pagan cult sites of which there is no record anymore. This little church with its St Christopher's fresco on the outside dates back to the 16th century and is dedicated to San Rocco.
Hidden between the houses, a bit above the church, a little castle can be found: the Mühlburg. In 1589, the stonemason Silvester del Gall transformed an old courtyard into a residence with typical details of the Oltradige construction style. It combines elements of late Gothic with those of the Italian Renaissance, so that the stately residences are decorated with enchanting oriels, open staircases, double-arched windows, representative loggias and columned arcades.
