Venzone

Located in the Tagliamento River valley at 230 meters elevation, Venzone features complete medieval walls, stone buildings, and ancient fortification structures.

The settlement dates back to 500 BC as a Celtic trading post, later becoming a crucial stop on the route connecting the Adriatic coast to Eastern Alps.

The Saint Andrew Cathedral displays Gothic architecture with 14th and 15th-century frescoes, representing the religious and artistic heritage of the region.

The town connects to major cities through regular train services from Udine station, with multiple accommodation options available within the medieval center.

Following the 1976 earthquake, the entire town underwent systematic reconstruction using original stones numbered and reassembled like a giant puzzle.
