Recently renovated, fine structure and beautiful view

Valvasone Castle is the heart of the village, which once hosted two popes and even Napoleon during his conquest of Friuli. It was built in the 13th century as a defensive structure and today resembles more of a palace. The castle can be visited on certain weekdays. It houses one of the smallest historic theaters in Italy, with only around 50 seats.

The municipality of Valvasone Arzene is listed among the most beautiful towns in Italy thanks to the excellent state of preservation of its historic center, which boasts several stately homes dating from the 14th to 17th centuries. The most important architectural feature is the castle, surrounded by a moat and the old city walls. Also worth seeing is an old mill, which still retains its 15th-century wheel.

Wonderful all-round view

Valvasone Castle is the central nucleus of the village of the same name, now listed among the "Most Beautiful Villages in Italy." Built in the 13th century on pre-existing late-ancient structures, the castle belonged to the ancient and noble Valvasone family.

Highly visible from the plain, the Toppo castle, dating back to around 1100 AD, created a belt of manors on the Pordenone foothills.

beautiful medieval center

One of many castle ruins in the foothills of the surrounding mountains. Very well restored with information signs. From the ruins there is a beautiful view towards Val Colvera di Jof and far into the Friulian plain. The ascent is on a forest path, partly with coarser rock. It is worth a visit, impressively illuminated in the dark.
