Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 April the 37th edition of Open Castles FVG, an unmissable event to discover the history of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, through 18 manors, residences, gardens and parks normally closed to the public.
Ciceroni of exception will be the castellans themselves or professional tour guides who, during the visits, will reveal the most interesting details of the history of each castle, in a journey dedicated to culture and art, but also made up of curiosities and anecdotes handed down from generation to generation.
For the first time it will open its doors on Spilimbergo Castle with the former Ciriani wing (now Furlan). The castle, in fact, dating back to the 10th / 11th century, looks like an agglomeration of noble residences arranged in a ring around the large central courtyard. The part that can be visited was renovated in 1911 and retains decorations from the fifteenth century and, on the main floor, the stucco and fresco frieze executed by Giovanni da Udine at the beginning of the sixteenth century.
There are 14 castles open in the province of Udine: Castle of Aiello, Castle of Ahrensperg (Pulfero), Castle of San Pietro di Ragogna, Castle of Strassoldo di Sopra, Castle of Strassoldo di Sotto, Castle of Susans (Majano), Castle of Villalta (Fagagna), Castle of San Floriano del Collio, Casaforte la Brunelde (Fagagna), Rocca Bernarda (Premariacco), Palazzo Steffaneo Roncato (Crauglio di S. Vito al Torre), Palazzo Romano (Manzano), Castello di Flambruzzo (Rivignano Teor) and the Castle of Spilimbergo (former Ciriani wing ).
In the province of Pordenone Palazzo Panigai Ovio (Panigai) and the Castle of Cordovado will open its doors, while in the province of Gorizia it will be possible to visit the Rocca di Monfalcone and Palazzo Lantieri (Gorizia).
The visits will be organized in small groups. The list of participating castles, the rules for access and the individual initiatives promoted will be published on the site. The admission price varies from 7 to 10 euros depending on each castle and the activities proposed to visitors.
