We knew nothing about this place and only stopped here because of the nearby campsite review. What a place this is and what history! Buy an all-inclusive ticket which gives you access to the basilica, tower and crypt. The basilca is more of a monument than a working church as only the top end is used for services. The rest has an amazing mosaic, the largest I have ver seen, with elevated platforms to walk along and view it all. It is just superb. There is also a sad WW1 graveyard behind the church with the most beautiful and poignant statue in it - very few people visited it when I was there but it was lovely. This is a must-see place - why had we never heard of it before?

We've been here in winter and the landscape is breathtaking: inferior lake in 80% iced, mountains are full of snow, amazing!!! An advice: you need winter shoes with spikes...in the woods there are a must!

A lovely oldie world charm, a wonderful village/town with fine sense of history, some restoration work being done, I should imagine it may be finished about the same time as Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia.

At the southern end of the square is the Loggia del Lionello from the 15th century in Venetian Gothic style; it used to serve as the municipal building in the past and still serves that purpose today

Here you will find a 16th century old church surrounded by beautiful mountains all around! You will find cute souvenir shops and a restaurant overlooking the mountains, where you can enjoy a drink or a meal. The views are so breathtaking!

A hike up the hill on the edge of the historic center brought me to the Castle Museums. Crowning the castle was a weather vane of a golden angel. The field beside the castle afforded a view of the Alps, hazy in the distance. The Museum of the Risorgimento, the 19th Century resurgence of Italian cultural and political identity, was well-done. Although the explanatory texts were only in Italian, it contained a lot of artifacts. I especially liked the propaganda posters and magazine covers from 1918. Despite its somewhat misleading name, the Museo de Arte Antica housed a good display of art from the 13th through the 18th Centuries, with most of its emphasis on the latter three. There were plenty of saints and rosy-cheeked angels. The Hall of the Comune (the large meeting room) included a Tiepolo ceiling and some handsome frescoes. Having accessed the castle by climbing up the steep hill from Maggio Park, I took the gentler colonnaded brick lane down to the Piazza della Libertà, where a school band was playing patriotic songs in the loggia. Udine was clearly more an authentic community than a tourist destination.

This is a great place to spend a few days. The walks around the fortifications are interesting and very pretty. Lots of areas of wild flowers attract lovely butterflies and dragon flies. Great views across to the mountains. Very unique architecture and construction. The town itself has a great selection of bars and restaurants. Monday is market day in the Piazza Grande, it has a lovely atmosphere.
