Udine

Built around the hill crowned by its castle, Udine grew into the main urban centre of historic Friuli. The city lies on the Friulian plain, between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, and its streets retain strong traces of centuries under Venetian rule. Piazza Libertà brings together the Loggia del Lionello, a 15th-century civic building, and a clock tower modelled on Venice’s Torre dell’Orologio. Above it, Udine Castle stands on the hill where the Patriarchs of Aquileia established their residence in 1238. Cafés, osterie and the local Friulian language give the centre a distinct regional identity, while the surrounding plain extends towards vineyards, mountain foothills and the coast.
