Salurn an der Weinstraße; Archaic (580AD): "Salurna", also "Salurn" or "Salurne") is a "comune" (municipality) in the province of Bolzano-Bozen in the Italian region Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, located about 20 km northeast of the city of Trento and about 30 km southwest of the city of Bolzano. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 3,160 and an area of 33.2 km².All demographics and other statistics: Italian statistical institute Istat.] About 37% of the population speaks German as first language.The municipality of Salorno contains the "frazioni" (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Cauria (German: Gfrill) and Pochi (German: Buchholz).

Salorno borders the following municipalities: Kurtinig an der Weinstraße, Margreid an der Weinstraße, Montan, Neumarkt, Capriana, Cembra, Faver, Giovo, Grauno, Grumes, Mezzocorona, Roverè della Luna and Valda.

Salorno is located in the famous natural park named the "Parco Monte Corno". A settlement since the days of the Roman Empire, Salorno was first mentioned as "Salurnis" in a 580 deed, when the Lombards of Trentino fought against the invading Franks of the Merovingian kingdom.

The village is best known for the ruins of the medieval castle "Castello dei Litigi" (German: "Haderburg"). Situated on a limestone rock high above the Adige Valley, it marked the linguistic border between the German and the Italian speaking population of the Austria-Hungary "Kronland" Tyrol. The castle was first mentioned in a 1053 report and became the property of Count Meinhard II of Gorizia-Tyrol in 1284. Since 1648 the ruins are in possession of the counts Zenobio-Albrizzi.
