Fagagna

Every September Fagagna races donkeys, a tradition kept up since 1891 and its four districts stage plays on the square for the Palio dei Borghi. The town climbs to a castle hill over the Friulian plain, where a ruined tower now serves as a bell tower beside the little church of San Michele. Lower down, the loggia of the Palazzo della Comunità still carries the lion of Saint Mark.
