This photo shows the Cathedral of Udine (Duomo Cattedrale di Santa Maria Annunziata) in the light of the noonday sun. Inside, you find works created by Giambattista Tiepolo. Another good place to learn more about this artist is the Diocesan Museum of Udine.
On 17 October 1797, France and Austria signed the Treaty of Campo Formio in this villa. This event ended the War of the First Coalition. Today, the estate houses a collection of antique carriages and an armoury. In addition, the villa is a popular venue.
Trauttmansdorff Castle (Schloss Trauttmansdorff) in Merano offers a lush garden with about 80 different areas and a view of the Alps. Inside the castle, a museum tells about tourism in the alpine region of South Tyrol.
While strolling through the streets of Udine, you may see this lively depiction of the local coat of arms. This version of the city arms of Udine makes a fascinating difference as it forms a sort of sculpture instead of the common reliefs and murals.
On my way from Udine to the Austrian border I took an ordinary road through the Val Canale instead of the motorway and enjoyed a splendid view of the Alps. In some areas of Europe it is really better to drive slowly instead of racing along the motorways, isn’t it?
Another interesting piece of architecture I saw in Udine. It is called an altana. Well, would you love to live in such a tower?
I just love the style of these shutters. You?
Nice balcony in the streets of Udine. Who of you would like to be Juliet on that balcony?
Funny penthouse at a piazza in Udine. Would you love to live there?
On my way back from the castle of Udine down to the city I came across this atmospheric place dominated by a weird tree.
A golden angel on top of the church Santa Maria in Castello in Udine. Any ideas what he tried to show me?
At the Loggia del Lionello in Udine I saw this interesting tool. I was told it is a thermometer designed by Arturo Malignani (1865-1939).
