Spilimbergo, Medieval commune in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
Spilimbergo is a commune in Pordenone province in northeastern Italy, situated at about 132 meters (430 feet) above sea level. The settlement centers around its medieval fortress, with narrow streets and workshops typical of small villages in the region.
The settlement developed around the medieval fortress Castrum de Spengenberg, which laid the foundation for today's commune. This early stronghold shaped the area as a notable location in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region.
The town is known for its mosaic-making tradition, a craft that artisans still practice in local workshops today. This heritage craft shapes how the place looks and feels to visitors walking through its streets.
The commune sits in a fairly flat to gently rolling area and connects well with surrounding towns in Pordenone province. Visitors can easily move through the compact settlement and divide their time between the historic center and local craft workshops.
The town is home to a renowned mosaic art school with international reputation for training craftspeople in this traditional technique. This institution has helped put the settlement on the map for art lovers and students of decorative crafts from around the world.
