Nice castle located in an amazing little medieval township. The view is very suggestive on both sides of the castle, and there are various fun downhill, both both paved and not

It is a beautiful castle, which can be visited by appointment. Arriving from the town of Giavons, you go along a canal, pass in front of the "da Bic" restaurant and
the climb begins, divided into two very steep sections.

The Castello d'Arcano Superiore, magnificently preserved and still inhabited, still has something magical about it today due to the isolated site where it was built. It originally stood near the small church of San Mauro, on the banks of the Corno. For defensive and strategic reasons, it was later rebuilt in the place where it still stands today. The structural expansions probably date back to the 13th century. It is certain that from the 12th century it belonged to the Tricano family, hereditary marshals and gonfalonieri of the Patriarch of Aquileia.

The castle still presents its suggestive medieval appearance today, with the crenellated Guelph curtain walls, the characteristic double tower and the mighty keep with, at the top, an elegant row of late Romanesque mullioned windows. Inside there is a small room frescoed by Andrea Urbani and various rooms with fireplaces and portals created by Raffaello de' Raffaelli.

Info and visits
Castle can be visited internally for groups through the visit office of the Consortium for the Safeguarding of the Historic Castles of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Curiosity
Castle d'Arcano was the scene of a mysterious event that occurred in the 17th century, which saw Francesco d'Arcano stab his wife to death out of jealousy, who was found walled up at the beginning of the 20th century during restoration work.
