Maniago Castle is a 12th-century military structure located on the slopes of Mount Jôf, dominating the town. It was built to resolve the problems facing the Patriarchate of Aquileia following the donation of its lands to Patriarch Rodoaldo by Emperor Otto II. The distance between the estates and Aquileia made their administration difficult, especially with the formation of the large fiefdom of Spilimbergo, the consolidation of the Sestensi holdings in the Cellina Valley, those of Millstatt Abbey in the territory of Maniago Libero, and the settlement of the Polcenigo family in Mizza. Therefore, the construction of a castle was necessary, and above all, a "custoria," or "residence fiefdom." During the Turkish invasion of 1467, the walls were reinforced, but after being abandoned in the early 16th century and the earthquakes of 1511 and 1575, the castle began to decline. In 1630, it finally fell into disuse. https://www.comune.maniago.pn.it/it/vivere-il-comune-221534/luoghi-221535/il-castello-239607

For lovers of former car routes, this route is an absolute historical gem. The route for cyclists crossing the new road, which practically leads through a tunnel, is particularly interesting. The historic route, with its views of the valley and the carved-out rock formations, is sure to make your heart race.

Frisanco is a hilltop town that includes the hamlet of Poffabro, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. It is the most important historic center of Val Colvera, an area with a rich artisan tradition. Its stone and wood architecture is the most striking feature of the valley's landscape. It lies at the beginning of a long dead-end road and is therefore often bypassed and unvisited. Just entering the town itself is a sight to behold for historic buildings. The village itself is easy to cycle through, but beware of pedestrians, whom you might encounter around the corner. For water refills, there are two very well-preserved fountains in the village, one of which is notable for its size, which makes it resemble a small basin. A definite must-visit!
