Cividale del Friuli trip planner

Founded by Julius Caesar, Cividale del Friuli occupies a site probably inhabited since Paleolithic times. With such a long history and impressive artistic and cultural heritage, it's not surprising the town was recognized and protected by UNESCO. As you tour Cividale del Friuli, you'll discover medieval constructions from the Lombard era, reminders of a Germanic culture that once ruled most of the Italian peninsula but left few architectural examples of its power. Beyond the urban confines, visitors find a scenic area in the foothills of the Alps near the Slovenian border. You can visit Cividale del Friuli from nearby Udine on a day trip, then continue to neighboring Slovenia, a multi-country excursion that's also a voyage back in time.
