JOURNEY THROUGH NATURE AND HISTORY
45
The routes offered will take you for a walk
deep in nature and history. Neither present
particular difficulties and develop mainly on
dirt and flat roads.
The first route crosses the town of Tapogliano,
which is characterized by residential buildings
having typical characteristics of rural
architecture. The Saint Gaetano Sacellum (1)
is the first point of interest you will meet, then
you will pass through the main square with the
Saint Martin Church (2). The church presents
a characteristic bell tower with an onionshaped
dome where a capsule, containing
the original 1905 project, was found during a
recent restoration. Continuing your walk, you
will come across the Villa Pace (3) complex,
rich with architectural details. Once out of the
residential area of Tapogliano, you will find
yourself immersed in nature and, walking along
the higher part of the Torre River bank, you will
be able to enjoy the surrounding nature and
the numerous trenches of the First World War
(4), still very well preserved today. From here, a
small detour will take you to an old clay quarry
which has been restored and is today the
destination of countless species of migratory
birds and other animals.
The second route will guide you through the
rural and natural landscape. As for its first
section, this second section of the route
runs along the higher part of the Torre River
bank, an area included in the A.R.I.A. no.16
plan for territory protection and sustainable
management. As you continue, you will see
the many trenches of the First World War that
are part of the defensive lines called “Line
of the banks” and the “Line of the inhabited
areas”. The journey will lead you to the Saint
Leonard Church (5), a small building with a
typically Friulian architecture, dating back
to the XVII century. The town of Cavenzano is
next, with the unique Church of Saint Mary of
the Assumption (6), built between 1766 and
1795, followed by Campolongo al Torre with its
splendid square, overlooked by Villa Marcotti
(7) and housing the Town Hall and the Church
of Saint George the Martyr (9), built between
1696 and 1736.
Discover and enjoy the typical flora of the plain
and its wild fauna along both routes.
