Polcenigo

Polcenigo is a municipality in Pordenone province that spreads across the slopes of the Western Carnic Prealps. Numerous streams and springs flow through the area and feed into the Livenza River system.

Archaeological excavations near the Livenza springs revealed prehistoric stilt settlements from around 4,000 years ago. These findings are now part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The town preserves local craft traditions and religious artworks in its historic buildings. Visitors encounter artistic works and objects that reflect how people have lived and created here over many centuries.

The area is reachable by car or public transportation and sits relatively close to larger cities. The best time to explore is during the milder weather of spring through fall.

The Santissima area holds the primary springs of the Livenza and shows clear water features linked to ancient settlements. These water sources offer insight into how early communities lived alongside water.
