Cividale:
the Longobard town

A little gem in the eastern foothills of Friuli! The lively atmosphere of the Main Square and narrow cobble stone streets make of Cividale a delightful town to stroll around in search of the many traces of its glorious past.

 

Highlights:

Cathedral & the Christian Museum
Longobard Temple
Celtic Hypogeum
Devil's Bridge

 

Founded as Forum Iulii around 50 B.C. by Julius Caesar, Cividale acquired great importance in the sixth century A.D. The devil's bridge at Cividale del Friuli - UD when it became the seat of the first Longobard duchy in Italy and the main center of the region. The Cathedral and the nearby Christian museum are the highlights of our tour along with the Longobard Temple, famous for its stuccoes and frescoes, the Celtic Hypogeum, carved out of the rock, the Town Hall and the Devil's bridge, which is considered the town's symbol.

Cividale is also well known for its top wines, great food (Gubana is a delicious specialty - a type of strudel with apples, pine seeds and raisins - that you should not miss!) and close position to the finest wine cellars of the region!
