About the event
"Castelli Aperti," organized by the Consortium for the Preservation of Friuli Venezia Giulia's Historic Castles, was created with the intention of facilitating access to the historical evidence represented by the region's castle sites and other fortified works. Overlooking the gulf or set on green hills, immersed in large parks or in the center of cities whose most prestigious home they were, stand numerous castles. There are two appointments of "Castelli Aperti" throughout the year: one in Spring and one in Fall, appointments that make it possible to visit public and privately owned castles not normally open to the public. The initiative is aimed at the individual visitor who wishes to discover some of the Region's most beautiful castles, behind their gates their secrets: magnificent gardens, halls rich in art, history and memories of other times. On the ancient stairs of fascinating medieval castles, you can be welcomed personally by the owners, exceptional ciceroni, or by professional tour guides; together with them, you will go back in time discovering a hitherto hidden historical heritage.
