Valvasone

The village of Valvasone has retained its medieval appearance with its lovely narrow Venetian streets and ancient dwellings with porticos. The imposing castle which overlooks its homonymous square, houses Late Gothic and Renaissance frescoes and a 18th-century precious wooden theatre. The Cathedral of the Holy Body of Christ, which owes its title to the miracle of the Sacred Tablecloth relic preserved there, houses a monumental organ. It is the only example of sixteenth-century Venetian organ art in Italy and

is embellished with the wonderful artistic frame of the Pordenone and Pomponio Amalteo. The Church of Holy Saints Peter, Paul and Anthony the Abbot, which was once a hospice that provided shelter to pilgrims and travellers, preserves valuable sixteenth-century frescoes and a seventeenth-century portative organ. The cloister of the former Convent of the Servite Order is also fascinating. It was built in the fifteenth century and has now been partially rebuilt on its ancient foundations. FOR MORE INFORMATION
