In the centre of the historic old town is the wonderful Castle of Udine.

This beautiful structure was created in 1517 but wasn’t completed until 50 years after.

With a front façade that features some stunning arches, a central tower and a series of windows, the castle is one of the premier buildings in the city.

At the rear of the castle is a gorgeous portico lined with a long row of ornate arches – this is a delightful place to walk through on a summer’s day.

Within the main building of the castle is the interesting Art and History museum that contains a plethora of artefacts and artworks from the city and surrounding region.
