Valvasone Arzene

Obiščite eno od "najlepših vasi v Italiji", grad, obdan z jarkom in starodavnim mestnim obzidjem, ter odlično ohranjeno zgodovinsko središče.

The municipality of Valvasone Arzene, in the province of Pordenone, is a member of the "Italy's most beautiful villages" club, thanks to the excellent state of conservation of the historic centre of the village of Valvasone, which boasts a number of elegant dwellings dating to between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries. The most important architectural feature is the castle which, surrounded by the moat and the ancient city walls, preserves two bedrooms with stucco work, a small eighteenth-century theatre and a rich collection of paintings. Another attraction not to miss is the nearby old water mill, which still has its wheel and dates to the fifteenth century.

The municipality is also home to another two small treasures: the cathedral houses the only existing sixteenth-century Venetian organ in Italy, while the Church of Santa Margherita contains an oil painting of the San Vito citizen Pomponio Amalteo depicting Saint Margaret between Saint Sebastian and Saint Roch.
