Tolmezzo

The town of Tolmezzo stands at 323 meters above sea level, between the Tagliamento River and Bût stream at the foot of Mount Strabut.

First documented in the 10th century as Tolmetium under the Patriarchate of Aquileia, the settlement changed hands between Venice and Austria before joining Italy in 1866.

The Duomo cathedral and Palazzo Campeis museum showcase the architectural heritage, while Saint Martin's feast creates community gatherings each November 11th.

The municipality connects to five distinct frazioni including Cadunea, Caneva, Casanova, Fusea, Illegio, and Imponzo, serving regional administrative functions.

The town received both the Medal of Military Valour for wartime contributions and earned the Alpine Town of the Year designation in 2017.
