The Cathedral
by croisbeauty
Il campanile, the bell-tower, was constructed in 1441 in the place of previous octagonal shape batpistery. It was designed by master Cristoforo da Milano.
The plan was to extend it over the size of dell'Agnelo's belfry of the church of Santa Maria di Cactello, but it was rejected because the structure of its walls couldn't support additional weight.
Go to a football match
by sierralyndon
The Friuli Stadium (Stadio Friuli) in Udine is located in Piazzale Argentina. It has a maximum capacity of 41,500 people and is the home ground of Udinese FC.
It is always great fun going to football games, and once I attended some sort of tournament among Udinese, Juventus and Milan where they played half-hour games. But I got to see some of the great players...
Il Palazzetto Veneziano
by croisbeauty
Il Palazzetto Veneziano, the Venetian Haus, was reconstructed in 1910, after it was pulled down to make the space for Palazzo d'Aronco.
Originally, the palace was built in the 14th and 15th century and during the reconstruction works the original parts of the marble were preserved. However, the reconstruction did not respected the original proportions of the building, therefore it looks "stretched" now.
Loggia del Lionello
by Mikebond
A beautiful, Venetian-style building on the Piazza della Libertà. It is the City Hall palace. It was realised between 1448 and 1456 by Bartolomeo delle Cisterne from Capodistria (today Koper, in Slovenija), based on a project of Nicolò Lionello. It was rebuilt in 1876 after a fire.
Porticato di San Giovanni
by Mikebond
The Porticato di San Giovanni (Saint John's colonnade) stands right opposite the Loggia del Lionello. It was Bernardino di Morcote from Tessin-Ticino (CH) who planned it in 1553 in order to integrate the pre-existing Torre dell'Orologio (clock-tower), very similar to the one in Venetian Piazza San Marco. Saint John's chapel in the centre is today the Pantheon ai caduti (Pantheon to the dead).
The two statues in front of the colonnade represent Hercules and Cacus.
