Pordenone

The city extends along the Noncello River with numerous Gothic-Venetian palaces and Renaissance buildings lining its historic central streets.

The settlement originated as Portus Naonis, a river port during Roman times, and gained city status in 1314 due to its commercial trade importance.

The Cathedral of Saint Mark contains significant artworks, including frescoes by local Renaissance painter Giovanni Antonio de Sacchis, known as Il Pordenone.

The municipal area maintains multiple bus lines connecting different neighborhoods to the central railway station, which provides direct routes to Venice and Udine.

In 1888, Pordenone became the third Italian city to utilize hydroelectric power, following Milan and Tivoli, marking its early industrial development.
