You only see what you know (Goethe)
The Aquileia Gate (Porta Aquileia) was errected in 1436 as part of the fifth ring of city walls surrounding the city of Udine. Entering the city through this gate lead to Via Aquileia where you can walk along six old palaces dating back to the 17th-19th centuries.
This diesel-electric articulated railcar GTW 2/6, built by Stadler Rail, is used by the Ferrovie Udine Cividale (FUC) for the line Udine – Cividale del Friuli. I took this pic at the railway station of Udine.
The emblem of Cividale del Friuli shown at a building near the centre of the city. At this place I was especially impressed by the lovely design of the windows.
Villa Ticozzi de’ Concina is a building dating back to the 18th century built on top of a hill in the middle of San Danielle del Friuli.
An interesting detail seen at the Friulian farmer’s life museum Cjase Cocel in Fagagna: In earliert times the duvets were filled with wood chippings.
The museum located near Villa Manin houses 40+ coaches from the nineteenth and twentieth century.
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?
Amazing emblem seen in the streets of Udine. Any ideas who is the owner of this coat of arms?
