Udine, Italy

Udine Italy

Udine is a quiet and dignified provincial capital – and also the unofficial capital of Friuli, which makes up most of the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia Region, between the Adriatic Sea and the Alps. The province of Udine offers a varied and changeable landscape, from the sandy stretches of the lagoon and the cultivated lowlands to the Alpine foothills: the Forni Dolomites, the Carnic Alps and the Julian Alps. Around this harmonious Renaissance-style square stand some of Udine’s most attractive buildings. You can visit the Loggia del Lionello (this old town hall takes its name from the architect who built it), dating from 1456, and the 16th-century Loggia di San Giovanni, which stands opposite on a slightly higher level. It has a Renaissance portico topped by a clock tower. Piazza Matteotti is a pretty square where the market is held. It is surrounded by arcaded houses, while in the middle there is a 16th-century fountain and a 15th-century column of the Virgin.
