Cordovado

Cordovado is a small jewel of Western Friuli, steeped in history and valuable monuments. It is enriched by a splendid castle set in a medieval village, the ancient Shrine to the Virgin Mary which is a gem of Baroque art and an ancient parish dating back to the 15th century. The village is made even richer by its natural environments which harmoniously fit into a fascinating and primordial trail. This land provided poetic inspiration to great literary figures such as Ippolito Nievo and Pier Paolo Pasolini. Cordovado encompasses a large agricultural com

plex (Curtis) near the ford on an ancient branch of the Tagliamento River, which the bishops of Concordia fortified in the 11th or 12th century. They chose the castle as the seat of civil, military and ecclesiastical powers. Since 2004, the Municipality of Cordovado has been listed as one of the Borghi più Belli d’Italia (The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy). Furthermore, on the 1st Sunday of September every year since 1986, it has held the magnificent historical re-enactment called the “Palio dei Rioni” (Palio of the Districts).
