The pool where you could bathe.

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

Beautiful view of Barcis from the road that goes up towards Piancavallo.

The center of Maniago is characterized by its large square, which is one of the typical large squares found in Friuli towns. The interior of the square is a pedestrian zone. Restaurants and bars invite you to linger.

A castle complex consisting of remaining walls with a long staircase from Maniago to the castle.

Great bridge over the dam, which offers fantastic views of the mountains and plains of Friuli.

This place is worth a visit. It seems as if time has stood still, transporting you back to a bygone era. Cycling through it alone is almost impossible... enjoying it by walking through it is certainly appropriate.
