Town
centre
Cividale del Friuli offers each visitor its beauty and traditions.
The historical centre is full of fascinating places and monuments to
visit. The Duomo (XV-XVI century) and the Palazzo del Comune (Town
Hall) (XIV-XV century) are evidence of the joint historical presence
in town of the political and religious powers, Piazza Paolo Diacono
leading to Piazza San Giovanni and to Stretta della Giudaica that
leads to the most ancient medieval house in Cividale, the suggestive
Borgo Brossana and its Piazza San Biagio with the small church and
bridge to the Tempietto Longobardo (Longobard Temple) (VIII-IX
century). Going upwards you can see the Maggiore Monastery with the
Convent of the Orsoline Nuns, the Pozzo di Callisto (Callisto’s
Well) (VIII century), the Ipogeo celtico (Celtic hypogeum) and the
Church of San Francesco.
