Susans Castle, a private castle and venue for ceremonies and banquets, was probably the site of a Roman castrum, later a strategic medieval fortress. Susans Castle was first mentioned in 1031 as "Suzan's villa". Already subject to the Church of Aquileia, the fiefdom was assigned to Tommaso di San Daniele in 1275. In 1304, the manor was enlarged and strengthened by the new owners Federico and Asquino di Varmo who worked to "raise the castle in a larger and more beautiful form". Involved in numerous wars, the fortress passed from the Varmo Pers to the lords of Colloredo Mels. Destroyed and rebuilt several times, the manor was built more or less in its current form, on a different site from the one previously occupied by the medieval fortress, in the second half of the seventeenth century, by Count Fabrizio di Colloredo Mels, Marquis of Santa Sofia, Prior of the Order of Santo Stefano in Lunigiana and major steward of the court of Tuscany, who wanted the castle as an elegant residence not detached from the context of the architectural tradition of the court. Medici Grand Ducal where Colloredo grew up and worked.

on the top of the Susans hill, still a private residence today.

A beautifully preserved medieval castle perched on a small hill. The buildings adjacent to the castle also reflect the Middle Ages very well. A visit is like a journey back in time.

Magical place

Susans Castle is an elegant seventeenth-century residence built on the ruins of previous medieval buildings and older settlements dating back to Roman times. It has the appearance of a Medici Villa and belonged to the Colloredo family until the end of the First World War. The building is surrounded by a large and well-kept Italian garden accessible to guests and visitors, fenced and equipped with internal parking. Located at the top of the Susans Hill, the castle has a splendid view that ranges from the plain and the surrounding hills to the mountains and the valley of the Tagliamento River. www.castellodisusans.com

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. www.consorziocastelli.it
