In the collective imagination that unites most Italians, Udine is “in the mountains”, but in fact the capital of Friuli has nothing higher than the hill on which the first settlers seem to have appeared during the Iron Age, attracted there by the high, protected position overlooking the plain below.
On this same hill today we can see the sixteenth-century castle, which now houses the Civic Art and History Museums.
The castle was built with the contribution, amongst others, of an apprentice of Raphael, Giovanni da Udine, responsible for the decorations in the splendid Salone del Parlamento hall.
