A beautifully preserved medieval castle perched on a small hill. The buildings adjacent to the castle also reflect the Middle Ages very well. A visit is like a journey back in time.

Magical place

The new parish church was built in 1909 according to plans by Don Angelo Noacco, parish priest of Cassacco, architect and author of numerous church projects in Friuli (including the Cathedral of Santo Stefano di Buja), and consecrated in 1938. Built in the Neo-Gothic style on an imposing base, the main façade of which is divided into two flights of stairs leading from the square to the churchyard, it features a striking façade with tower-shaped tabernacles, a porch, and a central rose window. Inside, three naves are divided by archivolt columns of red Verona marble. Thanner's frescoes, removed from the rear wall of the old parish church, were relocated to an arch in the left nave and appropriately restored.

The Castello d'Arcano Superiore, magnificently preserved and still inhabited, still has something magical about it today due to the isolated site where it was built. It originally stood near the small church of San Mauro, on the banks of the Corno. For defensive and strategic reasons, it was later rebuilt in the place where it still stands today. The structural expansions probably date back to the 13th century. It is certain that from the 12th century it belonged to the Tricano family, hereditary marshals and gonfalonieri of the Patriarch of Aquileia. The castle still presents its suggestive medieval appearance today, with the crenellated Guelph curtain walls, the characteristic double tower and the mighty keep with, at the top, an elegant row of late Romanesque mullioned windows. Inside there is a small room frescoed by Andrea Urbani and various rooms with fireplaces and portals created by Raffaello de' Raffaelli. Info and visits Castle can be visited internally for groups through the visit office of the Consortium for the Safeguarding of the Historic Castles of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Curiosity Castle d'Arcano was the scene of a mysterious event that occurred in the 17th century, which saw Francesco d'Arcano stab his wife to death out of jealousy, who was found walled up at the beginning of the 20th century during restoration work. www.consorziocastelli.it
