Next to the castle is the Santa Maria del Castello church, probably the oldest in Udine, dating from the Lombard era. It has been renovated several times over the centuries: For example, the facade was completely renewed after the earthquake of 1511. Its three ships maintain an atmosphere of silence and contemplation.

The church of Santa Maria di Castello is the oldest sacred building in Udine. It is possible that it already existed in the Lombard era as stone materials dating back to the 8th century were found inside, during the restorations of 1928-30, including an epigraph with the name of Liutprand, king of the Lombards (712-744 ). However, it is not known what the church looked like, although it can be assumed that it was small in size and had an apse.
