The village of Valvasone maintains its medieval aspect intact, consisting of pretty streets and ancient houses with arcades. The imposing castle, which dominates the square of the same name, contains late Gothic and Renaissance frescoes and a precious 18th century wooden theater. The castle, surrounded by the moat and the ancient city walls, preserves two rooms with stuccos, an eighteenth-century theater, a rich picture gallery.
Valvasone Arzene (Voleson Darzin in Friulian) is located in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Risen in correspondence of one of the last fords on the river Tagliamento open to traffic for most of the year; more south you pass in the low plains and the flow of the river is greater and distributed in a large part of the year. The transit of goods and people made him a privileged position for the Castle of the Counts Valvason, recently renovated but not yet open to the public. The power of the accounts was such that it was built a cathedral to preserve the sacred cloth and the remains of the Eucharistic miracle occurred in Gruaro (20 km further south). With the advent of the railway and automotive traffic has moved more to the south, along the route that connects Pordenone Udine, affecting the towns of Casarsa della Delizia and Codroipo.
Worth a visit the Castle of Valvasone and the Church of SS. Body of Christ.
At Valvasone, next to the Italian language, population uses the western friulano, a variant of the Friulian language.
