The Castello di Udine is a 16th-century castle on a hill in the city center of Udine in the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The castle is located at a height of 121 meters on the Salita al Castello. It houses the Municipal Museum, which consists of a picture gallery, the archaeological department, the numismatic department, the Museum of the Risorgimento, a gallery of drawings and printed matter and the Photography Museum of Friuli.

The origin of the castle hill, a substantial elevation in the middle of the Friuli plain, was until recently thought to be an accumulation of rubble over the centuries. But there is a legend that has been passed down for centuries about its origins: it is said that when Attila sacked Aquileia, then one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire, in 452, he ordered his soldiers to raise a hill so that he could witness the spectacle could observe from Udine. So the helmets of all the soldiers were filled with earth and everyone was brought to a place in the middle of the citadel. This is how the hill that dominates the city today was created.

Only survey in the center of Udine. Then the Castello. Great view over the rooftops of the old town.

The Castello is easily accessible on foot. From the spacious area you have a wonderful view of the city and the surrounding area with the Alps in the background.
