Devil's Bridge (Ponte del Diavolo), Cividale del Friuli
Highlight • Bridge
The Devil's Bridge is one of the symbols of Cividale del Friuli. It stretches boldly over the Natisone River and is the subject of an incredible legend. The two sides of the bank were, at least from the XIII. Century, connected by a wooden bridge. This was replaced, after several other unsuccessful attempts, by the stone bridge designed by Lacopo Dugaro of Bissone, whose construction began in 1442. The work was subject to various obstacles and progressed only slowly. So five years later they were under the leadership of Erardo (or Everardo) da Villaco, a former employee of Darugo.
The latter may have died of the plague in the meantime, or, according to other traditions, he might have fled without fully fulfilling his contractual obligations. The builder Erardo died, and so Bartolomeo delle Cisterne completed the construction of the long-awaited bridge. Based on a notarial deed, we know that it was paved in 1501 and later again in 1558. The end points were secured by towers that were later demolished (mid-19th century). Later, restoration work was necessary several times in order to keep the indispensable crossing, which had to withstand the violent floods of the river, fully functional. In 1843, during reinforcement work on the middle pillar, two important pillar stumps from Roman times were discovered, which can now be viewed in the museum. On October 27, 1917, the work of the century suffered a severe blow of fate when, due to Caporetto's defeat, it was blown up in order to stop the approaching enemy. However, the destruction proved to be completely useless, because despite everything, the imperial troops crossed the river that same evening. The bridge was then rebuilt in record time by the Germans with the help of local specialists. Thanks to the precise surveying work carried out by the local engineer Ernesto de Paciani a few years earlier, the original structure could be fully taken into account. The roadway was widened by a few meters during this reconstruction.

The view of the bridge and the cathedral is very picturesque.

Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption (Cividale del Friuli)
Highlight • Religious Site
The original church was built by Patriarch Callixtus when he moved the episcopal see of the Patriarchate of Aquileia from Grado to Cividale in the 8th century. This cathedral retained its function until the Patriarchate moved again to Udine in 1248; the name Duomo is also used for today's church. The former cathedral was badly damaged by the Friuli earthquake of 1348 and suffered further damage by the earthquake of 1364. In the middle of the 15th century, Bartolomeo delle Cisterne was entrusted with the reconstruction, which would be done in the Venetian Gothic style. The work took a long time, the architect died in 1480 and the building remained unfinished.
On January 29, 1502, a pillar in the right nave gave way, causing much of the structure to collapse. In the same year, the reconstruction was entrusted to Pietro Lombardo, who began building the current cathedral in a mixed Gothic and Renaissance style. After Lombardo's death in the spring of 1515, the still unfinished building was consecrated on May 9, 1529. The campanile was subsequently built between the 17th and 18th centuries in place of a small church dedicated to St. Anthony.
At the end of the 18th century, the architects Giorgio Massari and Bernardino Maccaruzzi carried out an extensive interior renovation. In June 1909 the church was elevated to the rank of minor basilica by Pope Pius X. After the earthquake in Friuli in 1976, the building had to be renovated.
