Parco del Seminario

Highlight • Forest

The Seminary Park is a green area of about thirty hectares lapped by the waters of the Noncello. It is owned by the Diocese of Concordia and Pordenone and in 2004 it was granted on loan for use to the Municipality of Pordenone: a provision that has significantly increased the public natural heritage available to citizens. The characterizing element are the lawns that are tended and mowed for forage during the summer season. Recent restoration interventions for recreational purposes have resulted in the creation of paths, the arrangement of bridges along the canal that flanks the dirt road, the planting of trees at the walkways and the arrangement of some benches, thus making it convenient and simple the visit to this important city natural park.

The locality of Torre, a hamlet of Pordenone, is a place where many traces of the passage of the ancient Romans are concentrated. Here, immersed in a park, we discover an ancient villa, a true example of the refinement that Roman construction could achieve in the first century BC.
