Tarvisio Town Centre

Highlight • Settlement

Tarvisio on the Alpe-Adria Cycle Path is not a beautiful city, but it is a special one. Located in the border triangle between Austria, Slovenia and Italy, at the intersection of several trade routes, it has experienced a lot in its history, which goes back to Roman times. Until 1918, what is now the Italian city of Tarvisio belonged to Austria-Hungary. Until then, the population was predominantly German-speaking, with a Slovene-speaking minority. Today the place has four official languages: Italian (Tarvisio), German (Tarvis), Friulian (Tarvis) and Slovenian (Trbiž).

Tarvisio Città — Old Railway Station and Church

Highlight • Settlement

The town in the northeastern part of the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia lies just across the Austrian border. Tarvisio is a stopover on the Alpe-Adria Cycle Route. The town became famous for its market, the "Fetzenmarkt," as early as the 1950s. At that time, there was still a shortage of goods in Austria. Today, it is more often mountaineers who seek relaxation here. Or travelers on long-distance cycle routes who stop here and enjoy their first taste of the Italian way of life.

Tarvisio Market

Highlight • Rest Area

This market hall has clothing of all kinds and then a little more. He is probably a distant descendant of the Fetzenmarkt.

Tarvisio Fortified Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The fortified church of Tarvisio was built very solidly and is surrounded by moats, towers and walls, to defend against enemies. These defensive elements were built around 1450-70. In 1478 the fortified church managed to resist an assault by the Turks, while in 1492 it had to succumb.

Inside the octagonal tower there is a basement that was once connected to a hidden tunnel, used to let people in and out and to supply the church in case of siege. This floor was also used as an ossuary and crypt, and later abandoned, only to be restored and reopened to the public in 1999.
