Lombard Temple and Santa Maria in Valle Monastery
Tempietto Longobardo (Longobard Temple), an extraordinary example of high Medieval western architecture, is one of the most famous worldwide buildings in Cividale. It is made up of a square wing with its crosslike vault and the presbytery with the three barrel naves, is characterised by Byzantine frescos and stucco decorations.
Its origins and functions are not completely clear: the prevailing hypothesis dates the building to the second half of the 8th century and it is thought to have been the chapel of a Benedictine convent.
