A place full of stories and history
The lovingly maintained old houses line the peaceful streets and lanes and reveal the village’s rich history. A history that can be traced far into the past, as the archaeological excavation sites wonderfully demonstrate. You’ll encounter these places as you stroll along the eight different themed trails in the Ecomuseum. Step by step, you immerse yourself in the wealth of traditions, legends, and tales, discovering archaeological sites, old mills and farmhouses, and the unique Alpine flora and fauna.

Nature and culture in harmony
The Ecomuseum is an impressive homage to the extraordinary connection between human, nature, and culture in this area. This journey into the past leads you to the mysterious Sacuidic archaeological site and the ancient Davâras furnace, to fantastic creatures of legend, past the talking walls created by artist Professor Marino Spadavecchia, and to the historic palaces of influential families. Culture gives way to nature – on the sensory path that lets you get an up-close look at flora and fauna. The botanical garden is a real treasure trove where you can learn all about local plants, their characteristics, and potential uses in the kitchen. On the water route, everything revolves around the power of nature. It leads you along the Tagliamento river to impressive waterfalls, little springs, and artesian wells.
