Friuli-Venezia Giulia : pictures

East of the Veneto, between the Adriatic Sea, Austria and Slovenia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia remains a rather unknown region in Italy, whose image is often summed up in the city of Trieste. It is obviously much more than that! It has a great diversity of landscapes where the mountains meet the sea, a rich heritage of Roman remains, paleochristian mosaics, fortifications and Venetian palaces. Its history has been marked by a succession of occupants and by a cultural mix, as evidenced by its architecture and culinary traditions. In the heart of Europe, between the Latin, German and Slavic worlds, Friuli Venezia Giulia cultivates its own identity and openness to others. To help you get to know the region better before you pack your bags, this chapter offers you an overview of this territory that has not finished surprising you.
