In the basin in which Val Passiria, Val Venosta and Val d'Ultimo meet, there is the town of Merano, which has been a renowned spa town since the 19th century. In Roman times the settlement "castrum maiense" was built, which later on continued existing as Maia. Merano itself was mentioned for the first time in 857 as Mairania and was officially declared a town in the 13th century. Today the districts of Maia Bassa, Maia Alta, Quarazze, Labers and Sinigo belong to Merano, not to forget the historic centre with the mediaeval shopping arcades.
