Highlights
Cividale, the first Duchy of the Lombards in Italy
We will discover Cividale, a UNESCO site since 2011 for its Lombard treasures, of which the Longobard Temple is the most famous. It was the first Duchy of the Lombards on Italian soil from the sixth to the end of the eighth century. A walk through the alleys will take you back to the past.
The town has always been a meeting point for cultures and peoples: from the Celts to the Romans, from the Carolingians to the Patriarchate of Aquileia. There are countless artistic beauties and monuments of art such as the Cathedral where every Epiphany the evocative rite of the Mass of the Spadone takes place, the Monastery of Santa Maria in Valle with at its center the already mentioned incredible Lombard Temple artfully preserved.
We will visit the famous "Devil's Bridge" and the lookout, from where you have a wonderful view of the historical part and the Alps which form the border with neighboring Slovenia.
Cividale awaits you with this wonderful tour.
