Have you ever considered exploring Friuli? We can guarantee it will be full of unexpected surprises. When we think about the entire region, Trieste usually springs to mind first and foremost due to its rich history and famous sights such as Miramare Castle, Piazza dell’Unit\u00e0 d’Italia and the San Giusto Cathedral. It is also best known for its historical caf\u00e9s, which were so central to European cultural life during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Then there are the cities of Udine and Gorizia, both compelling for different reasons: the former for its innate elegance and the beauty of its ancient buildings, the latter for its castle and \u2013 perhaps most significantly \u2013 the pivotal events of its division after the Second World War, when it became an emblematic border city caught between the Western and communist blocs, just like Berlin. Pordenone is often overlooked as a Friulian capital, possibly because it was the last to achieve this status as the head of a province. Despite having a larger population than Gorizia, its size may well contribute to its relative obscurity. Additionally, Pordenone exists in a unique position, almost suspended as it between two regions, bordering Treviso and Veneto. It therefore feels appropriate to discover a city and, more generally, a province that is very dynamic from a cultural point of view (the Pordenonelegge<\/a> book festival being the most important annual event), one that also has a strong economic presence (this is the second most important province in Italy after Treviso in terms of export value in the wood-furniture sector), and offers a rich social life. So where should we begin?
\nWe have chosen to start our itinerary in Sacile<\/a>, as it marks the gateway into Friuli by train. Described as the \u2018Garden of the Serenissima<\/strong>\u2019 due to the town\u2019s long-standing association with the Republic of Venice, its charming centre has developed along the course of the Livenza River and is well worth visiting for its elegant Venetian architecture, beautifully reflected in the water running through it. You can also explore the Borgo San Gregorio, originally a district of Sacile, with its double row of arcades flanking the street, as well as noble residences in Piazza del Popolo, the Municipal Loggia, San Nicol\u00f2 Cathedral, the Chapel of Piet\u00e0 and the 16th-century Palazzo Ragazzoni. Continuing past Fontanafredda will lead you to the outskirts of Pordenone and the municipality of Porc\u00eca, home to our first historical home, Castello di Porc\u00eca<\/strong><\/a>. Built for military defence against the frequent barbarian invasions, this Castle has been the permanent residence of the noble Porc\u00eca and Brugnera families for nine centuries. It encompasses a vast agricultural estate of 840 hectares dedicated to cultivating premium grape varieties and other products. Be sure to include a visit to the castle’s historic winery with a wine tasting, followed by a trip to the Azzano Farm, which is owned by the same family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
