San Vito al Tagliamento

A pretty, elegant mediaeval village boasting a richly frescoed castle, San Vito al Tagliamento still has its mediaeval moat and the three entrance towers.

Other noteworthy sights include its elegant palazzi and the cathedral, which is a veritable art gallery of paintings and frescoes, the church of Santa Maria dei Battuti, a Friuli Renaissance jewel with splendid frescoes by Pomponio Amalteo, and the church of the Annunciata with a cycle of frescoes executed in the second half of the 14th century.

Last but not least, do not miss the town’s delightful little Italian- style theatre, named after Giangiacomo Arrigoni, which reveals influences of the Venetian Settecento.
