PALMANOVA Palmanova is a famous city worldwide (listed among the UNESCO World Heritage sites): it is popular because of its star-shaped, perfectly symmetrical plan. It is a real masterpiece of the military architecture of Friuli: a fortress-city planned and built in order to protect the regional borders from foreign threats, mostly from the Turks. Its most important monuments are the three Doors (Aquileia, Udine and Cividale) opening onto the monumental Piazza Grande. Do not miss the Historical Museum of the City (Civico Museo Storico), which enshrines weapons, relics and documents illustrating the history of the fortress-city from its birth to the Second World War.

AQUILEIA A town of great historical charm, Aquileia was colonized in 181 BC for its strategical importance related to the Danube river, with the aim of defending the borders and of fostering trade. Aquileia enshrines an archaeological site of outstanding relevance, listed among the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO: the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta and its early Christian mosaics (4th century). In order to get to know the history of the early Christian Aquileia it is necessary to visit the Crypt of the Excavations ("Cripta degli Scavi") in a church built in the 4th century by bishop Teodoro on the foundations of an ancient Roman villa.

NATURE RESERVE OF THE ISONZO RIVER'S MOUTH This protected area of over 2,000 km2 covers the provinces of Udine and Gorizia, and it is a great wealth from the point of view of flora and fauna. Among the recently-introduced species there are some specimens of the Camargue Horse, an animal that is well suited to live in a damp environment. In this place, characterized by freshwater marshes, prairies, woods and flood plains, it is possible to make excursions on horseback or by boat. |

TRIESTE A borderland and a town which inspired many authors, such as James Joyce, Italo Svevo and Umberto Saba, Trieste is an elegant city overlooking the Adriatic, popular for the strong wind that often blows there. From piazza dell'Unità – among the most evocative and widest squares in the world – to the baroque, liberty and neoclassical palaces, the city has always been a crossroads of religions (the Helvetian church is the most ancient in town). Don't miss the castles of Miramare (where Maximilian I used to live) and Duino, directly overlooking the sea. Enthecke die Bauernhöfe von Trieste >>> |
