The most
interesting small
village in the
municipality of
Grimacco, from the
town planning point of view,
is certainly Topolò, recently
rediscovered and enhanced
and now the venue of an
avant-garde international
festival. Geographically, its
houses spread in radial
arrangement on the sweet
slopes of the hill below the
church of S. Michele, a
small church dating, in its
|
 |
present structure, from the
19th century. The surrounding
houses have preserved both
the charm and historical
relevance of rural
architecture. In the other
neighbourhoods, are several
votive small churches, among
which S. Mattia Apostolo at
Costne, probably dating to
the late Romanesque period
and containing 17th-century
wooden statues.
Environmentally interesting
is Mount S. Martino,
covered with extensive woods
of broad-leaved trees and an
enchanting belvedere on
the top.

its foundation by the
Romans, was the
main city in the area and under
the Lombards the capital of
the Duchy of Friuli. Still

urban plan, its
monuments, the...go
