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.

The Colline Moreniche area is beautiful... there are many dirt roads and paths through peat bogs and woods, where you can also exercise your legs with constant ups and downs.

The small church of San Mauro stands on the river terrace of the Corno river and is surrounded by a pebble wall that encloses the old cemetery. The current building, from the sixteenth century, is the result of renovations and expansions of a previous church dating back to the 12th-13th centuries, as evidenced by the frescoes found inside. The building was destroyed by the Turks at the end of the 15th century and rebuilt shortly thereafter. Already a branch of the Pieve di Rive, the church has a rectangular hall with an exposed truss roof and a presbytery with a ribbed cross vault. The atrium, with two lowered arch entrances, and the sacristy are from a later period. Inside, on the right wall is the oldest fresco, dating back to around the 12th-13th centuries, depicting Christ the Youth; on the walls and on the counter-façade instead the frescoes with the Last Judgement, stories of the life of Christ, Madonna with Child, Saints and Coronation of the Virgin are from the end of the 14th century or the beginning of the following century and are attributable to the post-Vitale Friulian school. The high altar is dedicated to San Mauro while the small side altar is dedicated to the Madonna. Over the years, various sculptors and painters worked on the internal and external decorations such as Andrea Urbani and Zuan Contieri.

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

The drive up is worth it because from the top you can enjoy a beautiful, wide view of Friuli. The "place up there" is also very well maintained and invites you to linger. A restaurant completes the pleasant experience.

A church that turns its back on you as you cycle past. Next to the church is a monument to the Italian mountain troops "Alpini". From the hill there is a very beautiful view of the "Castello d'Arcano Superiore".
