This place is beautiful, I went to Cividale with some friends on a bike tour and we visited this beautiful historical site. Too bad you can't take pictures inside, but it's for sure a memorable place. The walls are really nicely decorated and the building itself is very well mantained. I would suggest anyone visiting the area to go, the ticket is really low, so very worth a visit!
Nella splendida Cividale del Friuli bisogna assolutamente visitare il tempietto Longobardo. Si arriva da una via laterale al ponte del diavolo. il sito non è molto grande ma ben tenuto e conservato. una splendida opera d'arte. All'uscita del sito, si arriva al fiume Natisone, in un punto particolarmente affascinante.
An amazing time capsule of a place, wonderful threads of history and art in a place of peace and tranquility.
We enjoyed seeing the chapel. It is amazing what people could do in the past. The view from outside the chapel along the river looking to the mountains makes for a great picture!
I have visited Cividale del Friuli on various occasion and find this town interesting every time. Unfortunately it is always a bit difficult to coincide my available time to visit attractions such as the Tempietto dei Longobardi or the Ipogeo Longobardo, Ponte del Diavolo, the duomo and the Museum because the opening times are not very tourist friendly. It is necessary to get the information and make it on time. In the Tempietto no written information is given to take home, only to carry during the visit. I don't like ready while visiting, I prefer to take home, read carefully and keep the info for a next visit or to pass on but this isn't possible. The area, offers any visitor a wonderful lesson on historym from the Celts, Longobards to the Romans and on WW1 and WW2. It is a great place to take the family and study, discuss and enjoy history. The staff at the variuos sites are not very friendly and happy to give out information. At times they don't seem to be informed in depth so make sure to read up on the area before going so you can enjoy it much more.
Creato e decorato con grande maestria ci racconta il livello di perfezione raggiunto nelle arti da un popolo che in genere immaginiamo intento in qualche battaglia o guerra sanguinosa.Visita da non mancare assolutamente, si rimane affascinati dalle candide figure femminili che ci attendono da un lontano e misterioso passato.
rewarded with peace ... worth attention and driving to Cividale medieval town on the river Natisone.
Testimonianza dell'antica civiltà longobarda, che nobilita la bellissima Città di Cividale del Friuli. Un gioiello che gratifica sia il turista che lo studioso. Ora Oratorio che costituisce la più importante e meglio conservata testimonianza dell'epoca longobarda. Patrimonio dell'Unesco. Da vedere assolutamente .
As far as I can tell, much about the town is overhyped, but I would never ever say that of the Tempietto. It is on my top ten list in Italy and earns a special mention as the place no one has ever heard of (the same cannot be said of the Pantheon or any of the other entries)Seems like it was just a case that this gem was incorporated in a monastery and therefore not touched. The six figures are haunting and will stay with me forever.Go to CdF to see this
Il tempietto è un esempio dell'abilità degli artigiani e degli artisti longobardi. Chi visita Cividale non può trascurare questo piccolo sito splendidamente conservato, testimonianza di un'antica civiltà.
