Piazza San Giacomo

Reviewed By dierna - Udine, Italy

Beautiful to look at, better than Piazza Libertà, feels intimate and friendlier. Nice vibe... even if, on the left side of the church, near the well, they used to burn witches... :-D Anyway, mostly young crowd, but very good for families as well, children can run amock around the Fountain and you get a nice "aperitivo".

Piazza della Liberta

Reviewed By Professor04 - Welland

Located just south of the Castello, this major historic square has some impressive statuary. The surrounding architecture is also remarkable, but this is certainly not a green space. It is incredibly hot here during the summer so you will need to seek shelter in the Loggia across the street.

Museo Diocesano e Gallerie del Tiepolo

Reviewed By dunc1944 - Udine

I raccomend in particular the library, with some extraordinary medioeval codex. The affrescos of Tiepolo are uniques, but they require some history of art knowledge to be appreciated. They link Udine to the great venetian tradition.
Ask for the time of visits because the episcopal palace were the collection is placed is a private institution

The Cathedral of Udine

Reviewed By Hendrik_NL - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

When visiting an Italian town, it is in the cards, that there will be at least one or maybe more breathtaking churches ready to visit. Udine is no exception. The main church of Udine, the Cathedral (Duomo), is overwhelming in its expanse and beauty. Instead of describing the experience extensively, I have added some pictures. These say more than a thousand words. I like to draw the attention to the overhead painting. After admiring the Duomo a visit to the Battistero and the Duomo museum must not be forgotten. I will review this visit separately. As in most Italian churches, except in Florence of course, entrance to the Duomo is free. As in all churches, a small voluntary donation in the box will be appreciated.

Il Castello di Udine

Reviewed By Nicholas H - London, United Kingdom

It's a long and steep walk up the hill from the Piazza Liberta to the Castle, which gives spectacular views of Udine and sunrise if you get your timing right. The Castle is more about the fortifications than the building itself, which contains an unexceptional collection of historic artefacts.

Casa Cavazzini

Reviewed By MILOUW - New York City, New York

This gallery currently hosts an exhibit on Tina Minotti,an Italian beauty born in Udine who became a photographer in Mexico in the 1920's with strong communist leanings.
The permanent collection of modern art is non descript but includes a few paintings of de Chirico.
The Gallery itself is state of the art and some rooms show remnants of old frescoes.

Chiesa di San Giacomo

Reviewed By Hendrik_NL - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

The building goes back to the 14th century; the facade was constructed in the 16th century. This beautiful church merits a visit; the inside is also grandiose. The church is divided into two chapels. I could only visit the chapel on the right, because in the chapel on the left a service was in progress; a well attended service, proving that the Chiesa di San Giacomo hasn't lost its core function in the community of Udine. Just sit back in a pew to let the atmosphere do its work. To be recommended.

Museo Etnografico del Friuli

Reviewed By westysc - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

The displays range from the common to the unusual. Items like glass bits and wooden tools are nothing you haven't seen before. Information about the crafts and religion of the area are very interesting. What made the experience special was the staff member who accompanied us on the +1 and +2 floors. I assume his presence is to answer questions and to keep an eye on things, but the day we visited, the museum was very quiet, and he was able to spend a good deal of time with us. At first, it seemed hopeless, because my Italian is poor, and he seemed to speak only a few words of English. As time went on, we both became bolder. My Italian stayed pretty bad, but his English was quite good. I certainly appreciated the effort he made to communicate. The information he provided added a new dimension to the experience, as did his enthusiasm for the display and his friendliness. When you are in Udine, go. The museum is definitely worth the time and admission fee. The fee is currently 5 Euros general admission, and 2.5 Euros for seniors. There were other discounts, but I don't recall what they were.
