You only see what you know (Goethe)
While I waited for my connection train in Udine, a classic diesel rail car stopped nearby. It was one of the Class FS ALn 663. Fiat Ferroviaria built these cars in the years 1983 – 1993. The depicted rail car ran for the line Udine – Cividale del Friuli.
After lunch at a peaceful inner yard near the Duomo, I visited the iconic clock tower (Torre dell’Orologio) in Udine. The tower is part of the Loggia di San Giovanni at the Piazza della Libertà.
The former fish market hall of Udine offers both details I’m fond of Udine: Beautiful drawings below the roof and an artful smithery at the window and gates.
Fun head with hat seen at a building near Caffé Contarena in Udine, Italy.
Inside a Belle Époque café of Udine: Caffé Contarena is located next to the Piazza Libertà and offers an impressive interior design made of colourful mosaics placed in the lunettes of the hall.
The Diocesan Museum of Udine (Museo Diocesano e Gallerie del Tiepolo) is housed in the Patriarchal palace, the former residence of the Patriarch of Aquileia and current seat of the Bishop of Udine. Many rooms are decorated by works done by Giambattista Tiepolo.
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.
On my urban walk through Udine I come across this sundial. I like the modern style. Unfortunately I don’t know the meaning of Nulla Fluat Quin Doctura. It sounds like you should teach them, there is no flow. Which flow?
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?
