Historic villages


A European history

In Friuli Venezia Giulia you cannot get bored: diversity and variety are characteristics that can be found in all aspects of our region, from the natural environment to the languages to the gastronomy. Our history is also unusual, made up of encounters between different peoples that over the centuries have produced lasting relationships, but sometimes also bloody clashes.

The best way to get to know this region in the heart of Europe is to visit the villages scattered throughout its territory: you will find elegant towns and rural settlements, fortified citadels and romantic castles, each with its own story to tell.
