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.

Caporiacco Castle, located in the village of the same name in the hills of Colloredo di Monte Albano, was built in the medieval period (1026-1045) as a residence-fortress for the nobles of Caporiacco. In its long history, the manor has suffered numerous damages: set on fire by enemies, looted by patriarchal troops, attacked by the population during the famous peasant revolt of Fat Thursday in 1511 and severely hit by the earthquake of the same year. But it was the 1976 earthquake that had devastating effects on the structure, leaving only the curtain wall of the facade standing. For decades it remained in a state of rubble, until the recovery work began in 1999 and concluded in 2013, with the reconstruction of the Torre Mastio, the oldest part of the site, the main body and the "casa del frate".

Among the hills of Colloredo di Monte Albano, the Caporiacco castle belonged to the family of the same name until 1278. It was then damaged and looted several times and also suffered damage from an earthquake in 1976. Restoration work was completed a few years ago.

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.
