Aquileia
Aquileia, located in the plain of Friuli, is embraced by the lush greenery of the countryside, which reflects in the crystal-clear waters of the Natissa River. In the 2nd century AD, the Romans built a citadel on its western bank, transforming it into one of the most renowned cities of the Empire. Its fame was not only due to its military capabilities and economic prosperity but also to the cultural and spiritual magnificence that distinguished it.
Archaeological remains can be easily found in numerous parts of the city, bearing witness to its illustrious past. The Roman forum, in particular, represented the beating heart of city life, with its offices, temples, shops, porticos, and monuments, all elements that contributed to creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
Aquileia, therefore, continues to be a precious treasure trove of history, where traces of its past greatness are still clearly visible and captivate today’s visitors.
Palmanova
Palmanova is a city in northeastern Italy, situated 20 km from Udine, 28 km from Gorizia, and 55 km from Trieste. It is renowned for its fortress-like design and layout, which has been emulated by many military architects in modern times. On October 7, 1593, the superintendent of the Republic of Venice established a groundbreaking new type of settlement: Palmanova. The city’s founding date was chosen to commemorate the victory of European forces, predominantly supported by the Venetian republic, over the Ottoman Turks in the battle of Lepanto. On October 7, the city celebrates Santa Giustina, who was elected as its patroness.
Using the latest military innovations of the 16th century, Palmanova was built as a small town in the shape of a nine-pointed star-shaped fortress, designed by Vincenzo Scamozzi. The ramparts protruded between the points of the star to enable mutual defense. A moat surrounded the city, and entry was permitted through three large guarded gates. The outer fortifications were completed during the Napoleonic era. From 1815 to 1866, the city was under Austrian rule and was later annexed to Italy, along with Veneto and western Friuli, 50 years afterward. In 1960, Palmanova was declared a national monument.
