The ancient Forum Iulii, today Cividale, was founded by Julius Caesar around the year 50 BC. After the invasion of the Lombards from 568 Cividale became the capital of their first Italian duchy. The name derives from Civitas Austriae, as the city was named in 776 after the conquest by the Franks of Charlemagne. I cordially invite them to take leisurely walks through the city. I will show you the city of Cividale with great pleasure. In two and a half - three hours we can see the most important things in a comfortable way.
