It covers a relatively small portion of the middle Badia Valley (Val Badia ), as well as two from the Val Badia branching off to the southwest side valleys: the elongated Campilltal and the upper portion of Untermoitals. The population is distributed among the four major village settlements St. Martin (1120-1150 m asl, San Martin), Piccolino (1100-1120 m, picoline ), Campill (1380-1410 m, Lungiarü ) and Untermoi (1490-1530 m, Antermëia ), as well as many of the area typical hamlet ( viles ).

The St. Martin in Thurn belonging portion of the central Val Badia extends on both sides of the Gader. On the western side of the valley is located just below Castle Thurn ( Ciastel de Tor ), but increases above the valley floor on a terrace, the capital of the province, St. Martin. Located on the eastern side of the valley, similar to the northern, forested foothills of the Fanes the fraction Piccolino.

The Campilltal in the middle of the village is Campill leads deep into the high mountain regions of the Dolomites, which are too large to share in the natural park Puez under protection. While defining the valley of the Wengen (La Val ) and Abbey ( Badia ) belonging sections of Val Badia on its eastern side only a wooded ridge, rise above the south-western end of the valley over 2900 m high peaks of the Geisler Group and the thePuez. The latter are the Puezspitzen ( 2918 and 2913 m, Pizes de Puez ) and Piz Duleda ( 2909 m) the highest point of the municipality. On the west flank the Campilltal is framed by the Peitlerkofelgruppe, whose summit to the communities of St. Martin are distributed in Thurn and Funes: Entirely in St. Martin is the eponymous main peak, Peitlerkofel ( 2875 m, Sass de Pütia ), only to smaller parts of the eastern ridge line of Aferer Geisler.

History

In the Ladin Museum at Schloss Thurn the history of the Ladin culture is presented, according to which the origin of the village of St. Martin can be returned in accordance with assumptions Lois Craffonara up to the Roman period.

The Romans had a standardized Infrastructure Plan for the kind of three times three, a total of nine squares for rural settlements. Since the measure of the great nine smaller squares by archaeological finds from other places ago known, one can check whether about Sankt Martin in Thurn was originally built pursuant to such plan. Allegedly seen from a bird's perspective, the individual paths as well as some distinctive points of Sankt Martin assign such a square pattern. However, this is complicated by the fact that this alleged pattern square was destroyed in medieval times by a landslide a part. The term " Quadra " for this corridor division will initially have been used as the name of the settlement, and finally for the whole Val Badia; therefore get the modern name " Gader ," formerly " Kaidra " of a pattern according to the Roman settlement created here, so at least this theory. St. Martin belonged to the end of the First World War for the judicial district Enneberg and was part of the district Brunico.

In 1930 Campill ( Ladin Lungiarü ) was used together with Wengen connected to St. Martin in Thurn and Rina ( Rina ) at Enneberg. While Wengen from 1965 formed a separate municipality Campill remained at St. Martin in Thurn.
