Places to see in ( Udine - Italy )
Udine is a city in northeastern Italy. The hilltop Udine Castle is home to several museums and an art gallery with works by Tiepolo and Caravaggio. It has views of the city and surrounding mountains. The central Piazza della Libertà has Renaissance buildings, including the pink-and-white-marble Loggia del Lionello and a clock tower. Udine Cathedral has a baroque interior and a museum of religious decorative arts.
While reluctantly ceding its premier status to Trieste in the 1950s, this confident, wealthy provincial city remains the spiritual and gastronomic capital of Friuli. Udine gives little away in its sprawling semi-rural suburbs, but encased inside the peripheral ring road lies an infinitely grander medieval centre: a dramatic melange of Venetian arches, Grecian statues and Roman columns. The old town is pristine, but also very lively: bars here are not just for posing, for the Udinese, kicking on is the norm. As well as its culinary and vinous pleasures, the city also has a handful of excellent museums; this was the second home of Tiepolo and there's a number of his works spread over a few sites. You'll often get to see these marvellous works in only your own company.
Udine is a quiet and stately provincial capital - and also the unofficial capital of Friuli, which comprises the largest part of the Region of Friuli-Venezia-Giulia. While the once-great seaport of Trieste is the regional capital and reigns over the coast, Udine presides over the region's inland plains and its Alpine peaks. For centuries Udine was a Venetian city - in contrast to Trieste, which was part of the Austrian Empire. Today, Friuli is known as a region of wines, prosciutto di San Daniele and Montasio cheese. Udine is an excellent location to taste these products and to start a visit to this less traveled part of Italy.
Castello di Udine from the monumental staircase of Udine's Castle, which rises on a low hill about the city, you can admire the Julian Alps rising above the Friuli Plains. The Castle hosts the City Museums of art and archeology. In the map rooms on the top floor, you can see how Udine and surrounding Friuli shifted from being part of the medieval Patriarch of Aquilea to the Venetian Republic, then the Austrian Empire and finally, Italy. The church of Santa Maria di Castello, next to the Castle, is coloured by beautiful frescoes.
Piazza Liberta' at the foot of the Castle hill is Piazza Liberta', which the tourist office calls the most beautiful square in Venetian style on earth. Here you find the Loggia del Lionello, built in the 1400s, and across the street, the Tower of the Two Moors, giant statues (similar to those in St Mark's Square in Venice) on either side of a huge bell. They ring the hours.
Cathedral down Via Vittorio Veneto from Piazza Liberta' is Udine's broad Cathedral (or Duomo) dates from the 1200s, and contains works by Tiepolo and others. The newly re-opened Ethnographic Museum, on Borgo Grazzano, has a fascinating collection that illustrate rural life in Friuli.
Friuli DOC is a fabulous food and wine festival with entertainment held each year in Udine. This beautiful Venetian-influenced city has its own culinary twist on many Italian dishes and is the home to superb cured meats, cheeses and delicious wines which are often available in the best UK restaurants. 10th - 13th September 2015 and annually.

Places to see in ( Udine - Italy ) Piazza della Liberta
Places to see in ( Udine - Italy ) Piazza della Liberta
Piazza Libertà, also known as Piazza della Libertà is the oldest square in Udine, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, Italy. It was previously known as the Piazza Cantarena. Piazza Libertà in Udine is the oldest square in the city. It represents the heart of Udine and is the starting point for many historical-cultural itineraries. It is called the most beautiful Venetian style square on the mainland and is a harmonious complex of Renaissance buildings.
The square, located at the foot of the Castle of Udine, has been repeatedly changed its name. In the Middle Ages, in fact, it was called Piazza del Vino because here there was a dedicated market. In 1350 it assumed the name of Piazza del Comune because at the time it was the seat of the Municipal Council. In 1550, with the arrival of the Venetians, it was called Piazza Contarenain honor of one of the lieutenants; while in 1866, with the unification of Friuli to Italy, it was named after Vittorio Emanuele II. Only after the Second World War was her today's name assigned to her.
Many buildings overlook this charming square. Beginning with the fifteenth-century Loggia del Lionello in Gothic-Venetian style, covered with white and pink bichrome marble. On the embankment, instead, you can admire the Loggia and the Tempietto di San Giovanni . The first was built between 1533 and 1535 on a design by Bernardino da Morcote; the second is dedicated to the fallen for the country.
The nearby Torre dell'Orologio is original, the work of Giovanni da Udine and dated 1527, surmounted by the statues of the two Moors that mark the passage of time inexorably. The Arco Bollani , designed by Palladio, with its rusticated rustication and the Leone Marciano at the top, leads directly to the city's castle.
About halfway up the slope between the Loggia del Lionello and the Arco Bollani, the Monument to Peace , commissioned by Napoleon to commemorate the signing of the Treaty of Campoformido, has been exhibited since 1819 .
At the opposite end of the Monument to Peace is instead the monumental Renaissance fountain of Carrara . Furthermore, the Piazza di San Marco, erected in 1539 and theColumn of Justice dating back to 1614. Finally, look at the Loggia del Lionello, finally, the two seventeenth-century twin statues of Ercole and Caco , friendly to the Udinese Florean and Venturin .
