The Region

Friuli-Venezia Giulia is one of the 20 regions of Italy and one of five autonomous regions with special statute. The regional capital is Trieste on the Gulf of Trieste, a bay of the Adriatic Sea.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia has an area of 7,924 square kilometres (3,059 sq mi) and about 1.2 million inhabitants. A natural opening to the sea for many central European countries, the region is traversed by the major transport routes between the east and west of Southern Europe. It encompasses the historical-geographical region of Friuli and a small portion of the historical region of Venezia Giulia – also known in English as the Julian March – each with its own distinct history, traditions and identity.

GUIDED TOUR: Palmanova, walking tour of the star-shaped city

A deep dive into the past, when the mighty Republic of Venice built its perfect fortress: the tour begins at the underground galleries following the Rivellino route to reach Baluardo Donato, arriving in the majestic parade ground, Piazza Grande, the heart of the life of the city. This is where the artificial machines on display reveal how the fortress was built. On the square, under the watchful eye of the statues of the Provveditori, or District Governors, stands the Duomo with its majestic Baroque façade. On your journey, you will be able to perceive the mighty nine-pointed star, a testament to the engineering genius of that era.
