Very scenic place, cycling and walking through it is like entering the Middle Ages. The Ponte Diavolo and the "Caesar statue" are great photo motifs.

One of the oldest and most significant historical buildings in the center. The history of this loggia dates back to 1441, when the decision was made to build a new town hall. Over the years, the building was repeatedly expanded and restored and rebuilt after several destructions. Fortunately, the beautiful Venetian style has always been preserved.

The Loggia del Lionello is one of the most striking buildings in Udine – a Venetian-Gothic gem that combines history, architecture, and urban symbolism. Architecture & Origin Built: From 1448, based on a proposal by Nicolò Savorgnan to create a representative seat for the city council. Namesake: Nicolò Lionello, a goldsmith and city councilor who oversaw construction. Style: Venetian Gothic – with characteristic pointed arches, trifora, and a façade pattern of pink and white stone. Location: Directly on Piazza Libertà, opposite the Clock Tower and the Tempietto di San Giovanni – an ensemble that forms the centerpiece of Udine. Special Features Facade: Ten pointed arches on the ground floor, above which is a central loggia with a balcony and flanking trifora. Decoration: Coat of arms of the city of Udine and reliefs depicting religious scenes such as the Annunciation. Pentafora: On the north side – with finely crafted stone medallions and figures of the Evangelists. 🔥 Destruction & Reconstruction 1511 & 1876: Two devastating fires destroyed large parts of the loggia. Reconstruction: Reconstructed in the 19th century, closely adhering to the original Gothic form. 🕰️ Function & Significance Historically: Seat of the city council and symbol of local self-government.
