Castello di Maniago

The castle complex includes the remains of the Turris Magna tower and multiple residential structures surrounding a central courtyard at the hilltop location.

The Patriarch of Aquileia commissioned the castle construction in the 11th century, following Emperor Otto II's land donation to Rodoaldo for administrative purposes.

The castle site features information panels that detail the evolution of medieval architecture and the development of local defensive structures through the centuries.

Visitors can access the castle ruins through a designated walking trail from Maniago's center, with information panels explaining the historical context along the route.

The fortress experienced multiple ownership divisions during the feudal period, with different noble families sharing territorial rights in exchange for castle protection.
