Maniago Castle is a 12th-century military structure located on the slopes of Mount Jôf, dominating the town. It was built to resolve the problems facing the Patriarchate of Aquileia following the donation of its lands to Patriarch Rodoaldo by Emperor Otto II. The distance between the estates and Aquileia made their administration difficult, especially with the formation of the large fiefdom of Spilimbergo, the consolidation of the Sestensi holdings in the Cellina Valley, those of Millstatt Abbey in the territory of Maniago Libero, and the settlement of the Polcenigo family in Mizza. Therefore, the construction of a castle was necessary, and above all, a "custoria," or "residence fiefdom." During the Turkish invasion of 1467, the walls were reinforced, but after being abandoned in the early 16th century and the earthquakes of 1511 and 1575, the castle began to decline. In 1630, it finally fell into disuse. https://www.comune.maniago.pn.it/it/vivere-il-comune-221534/luoghi-221535/il-castello-239607

Poffabro is one of the 100 most beautiful villages in Italy: the painter Armando Pizzinato called it "an example of the most rational and imaginative spontaneous architecture of our Pre-Alps." The stone houses with wooden balconies, arches, and porticoes create an atmosphere of modest intimacy that blends well with the surrounding landscape.

Poffabro belongs to the municipality of Frisanco and is one of the 100 most beautiful villages in Italy. The painter Armando Pizzinato called it "an example of the most rational and imaginative spontaneous architecture of our Alpine foothills." The stone houses with wooden balconies, arches, and porticoes create an atmosphere of modest intimacy that blends well with the surrounding landscape. It's a place worth planning a longer stay for. Cycling through is far too fast; walking through allows you to see and appreciate much more. World-class!

Frisanco is a hilltop town that includes the hamlet of Poffabro, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. It is the most important historic center of Val Colvera, an area with a rich artisan tradition. Its stone and wood architecture is the most striking feature of the valley's landscape. It lies at the beginning of a long dead-end road and is therefore often bypassed and unvisited. Just entering the town itself is a sight to behold for historic buildings. The village itself is easy to cycle through, but beware of pedestrians, whom you might encounter around the corner. For water refills, there are two very well-preserved fountains in the village, one of which is notable for its size, which makes it resemble a small basin. A definite must-visit!
