Udine Castle, Renaissance castle on artificial hill in Udine, Italy.

The castle incorporates elements of Renaissance design with grand halls, stone walls, and multiple towers rising above the city center of Udine.

Following the destructive earthquake of 1511, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1517, taking 50 years to complete its transformation into a Renaissance palace.

The castle houses the History and Art Museum of Udine, which includes an art gallery featuring works from the 14th to 19th centuries by Carpaccio and Caravaggio.

The castle complex contains an art library with 45,000 volumes and a photo collection of 180,000 items, requiring advance reservations for specialized collections.

The artificial hill supporting the castle dates to the Bronze Age, making it one of the largest prehistoric mounds discovered in Europe.
