Itinerary
The Cathedral of Udine dates back to 1236, when the Patriarch Bertoldo of Andechs-Merania began the construction of the building on the site of a previous church dedicated to Saint Jerome. A lovely building with some cool stories behind it!
Valvason Morpurgo Palace in Udine hosts a section of the Modern Art Gallery dedicated to architecture and design in Friuli. It houses archives with original drawings by twentieth-century Friulian architects, such as Raimondo D’Aronco, Pietro Zanini and Emilio Mattioni, as well as design renderings from the Elettrolux Zanussi archive. The palace also hosts thematic exhibitions.
The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Udine is located in Cavazzini House, a historic building located in the heart of the city. This building was acquired by the Municipality thanks to the will of Dante Cavazzini, a Milanese merchant of fabrics and textiles.
Liberty Square is the oldest square in Udine and represents the beating heart of the city! It is also called “the most beautiful Venetian square on the mainland“. Few stories and some interesting buildings here!
Udine Castle is one of the main historical and cultural attractions of the city, located on the hill overlooking the center. Its dominant position offers an extraordinary panoramic view of Udine and the surrounding valley.
Porta Manin, also known as Torre di San Bartolomeo or Porta Cividale, is the oldest gate still visible in the city. Built between 1273 and 1299, it was part of the third circle of walls that protected Udine.
The Diocesan Museum and the Tiepolo Galleries are housed in the Patriarchal Palace of Udine. This palace, which has an eighteenth-century structure, has its roots in the fifteenth century and was the residence of the Patriarchs of Aquileia from 1593 to 1751. Today, it is the residence of the archbishop.
May 1st Square in Udine is one of the most famous and popular squares in the city, located in the heart of the historic center. The square takes its name from the celebration of the Workers’ Day, which is celebrated every year on May 1st, an event that has deep roots in the trade union movement and in Italian social traditions.
The Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Graces in Udine is one of the most important places of worship in the city. The sanctuary was built in 1500, following the construction of a chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, which quickly became a destination for pilgrimages thanks to the fame of a miraculous image of the Virgin Mary.
