    This imponent square has some elements which recall about Venice, such as the decorations of the palaces and the winged lions. However, it’s a fantastic point to start your tour of the pretty (and underrated) town of Udine.

    Its a steep climb up to the castle either using the steps or a cobbled road but once up there the views are very good.
    The day I went was free admission - National Museums Day! - otherwise the admission price was quite reasonable. There is an archeological section and a section charting the unification of Italy on the ground floor, but up on the second floor is the art collection with pictures by Carpaccio, Tiepolo, etc. and a superb Caravaggio - well worth the climb up to the castle! On the top floor is a photography section, tracing the evolution of photography in Friuli - descriptions mostly in Italian. The views from the windows, however, are excellent andf some windows have indications as to what the buildings are you are looking at.

    When on our annual holiday in Carinthia we like to visit Udine, because it is a splendid historic Italian town, not yet overrun by tourists. There are many places to enjoy the architecture, sit down with a coffee, or a delicious snack and generally get a taste of the Italian way of life. But all this come together in Piazza Giacomo Mateotti, only steps from Via Mercatovecchio (now pedestrianized). Historic buildings, some with lingering frescos, a terrific 16th century church, bars, shops, restaurants and the Italians getting on with their daily life, walking, talking, shopping, sitting down with a coffee or a crodino; the real outdoor living room of Udine.

    we had been in Trieste and were bound for Venuce but a friend and said we should stop in Udine to see this palace and the wonderful Tiepolo paintings. It was well worth the visit

    Very nice stadium from the type of medium sized ones. The coloured seats make it quite unique. The stadium tour is really good, you get to places that are quite hided from the public and you can get a fine explanation.

    I love this place and regularly visit it. The works are fascinating and the mix of old and contemporary is just fascinating. A must see!

    Piazza San Giacomo is the best square in Udine, worth a five point rating in its own right (see my review), it is the outdoor living room of Udine, but the crown of this Piazza goes to the magnificent 16th century church, Chiesa di San Giacomo Apostolo, tucked away in the corner of the square. However, this church is closed between 12.00 and 16.00, to be taken into account when planning a visit. Pictures say more than a thousand words. I will add some to this review, an easy five point rating.

    We had visited all the art museums and had a spare afternoon and decided to come here. What a brilliant decision! We had a wonderful experience and essentially got a guided tour. We do speak Italian (not fluently) and the lady was so keen to talk to us about the exhibits. There are sections on weaving, medicines, religion, clothes, woodworking etc. It is very well set out. Don't let a lack of Italian put you off as they do have an English leaflet.
    The best visit of our holiday.
    Grazie mille!

    We managed to visit at the second time of trying. The first time it should have been open, we asked in the duomo and they said it was closed due to a lack of volunteers.
    Anyway, it has a beautiful sarcophagus and lovely frescoes. Free entry with donations. There is an A4 information sheet in English but the volunteer in duty was very keen to conduct us on a tour in Italian. She was very informative and we got a lot more from the visit.
    No photos at all allowed, so not sure how others have got photos on TripAdvisor.

    On the northern side of the Piazza Libertà, stands the Loggia and Tempietto of San Giovanni dating to the 16th century with at its top the Clock tower, dating to the same period and very similar to the one in Venice's main square.
