Villalta Castle

Its history is lost in the mists of time, as attest Roman foundations and traces of a castelliere. The most ancient document that concerns him dates back to 1158. Several times besieged, destroyed and rebuilt between 1200 and 1400, underwent finally an important enlargement in 1500 that gave him the monumental aspect that still today characterises it. And for centuries it was owned by the Lords of Villalta-Caporiacco and accounts of the tower, noble family and prestigious in the patriarchate of Aquileia, to which he gave three Patriarchs. The double walls, the walkways of Ronda, the drawbridge, the defense towers and the picturesque and romantic courtyards are witnesses of the past greatness and strategic importance of the castle.
