Walking through the gate into the castle grounds of Valvasone means taking many steps back in time to the Middle Ages.

The building structure was constructed in late Romanesque style starting in 1449, furnished over the course of the following century, and rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style at the end of the 19th century, replacing numerous wooden elements with marble and adding a new façade. The church houses a perfectly functioning 16th-century organ, the only one still in existence in Italy from the famous Venetian Renaissance tradition.

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.

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.
