Cividale del Friuli

The landscape around Cividale del Friuli is defined by the Natisone River and the nearby foothills of the Julian Alps, which have shaped both the urban form and local economy. Founded as Forum Iulii in Roman times, the town later became the first Lombard duchy in Italy after 568, giving Friuli its name. Its historic centre retains the Lombard Temple, part of the UNESCO-listed Longobards in Italy heritage site, while the stone Devil’s Bridge crosses the Natisone gorge below. Cividale also reflects Friuli’s borderland character, close to Slovenia and the routes leading into the Alps.
