When talking about Zoppola, the
image that comes to mind is that
of the Castle of Counts Panciera,
dating to the 14th century, whose court
is decorated with a cycle of 16th-century
frescoes attributed to Amalteo. But the religious
buildings in town are interesting, too, from the
18th-century church of San Martino (statues
by L. De Paoli, early 1900s; Sta. Caterina's
Mystic Marriage, by Palma the Younger's studio,
16th-17th cent.), to Sant'Andrea at
Castions, with paintings
by Amalteo
(Pentecost,
1532;
Enthroned Virgin with Child between SS. Rocco
|
 |
and Sebastian, 1565-69 ca.), frescoes by Pietro
Gorizio in the choir (Crucifixion, Stories of
SS. Peter and Andrew, Beheading of St. James,
early 16th cent.) and a St. John the Baptist
among Saints, a worshipper and the Holy
Trinity by Antonio Carneo (1680 ca.); from
Santo Stefano at Cevraia, which is part of the
hamlet, with an Enthroned Virgin with Child
and Saints by Calderari, to San Michele at
Ovoledo (frescoes by Girolamo del Zocco,
1568-69). 16th-century paintings are also found
at. Sile and Orcenico superiore, whereas the
church of Sant'Ulderico at
Orcenico inferiore
preserves
altars by
G.Contiero
and a
Visitation
attributable
to N. Bambini
(18th cent.).
18th-century is also the
-barchessa- of Villa Panciera
at Murlis, with annexed the
circular-plan church of Santa Lucia.

The whole central-eastern area of the
province is deeply marked by the
presence of waterways (which are
torrential streams at their sources
and acquire a more regular
flow further south),
first of all River
Tagliamento,
marking the eastern
border of the province,
whose fords have
determined the
distribution of towns
for centuries, hence the
