Polcenigo

Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia

Water shapes Polcenigo: the Livenza rises at the Santissima, so clear it is called a 'liquid sky', and the Gorgazzo flows through the valley below the castle. Neolithic stilt houses once stood in the Palù di Livenza, now part of the UNESCO-listed pile dwellings around the Alps, while the old Borc keeps its palazzi and an 18th-century castle designed by Matteo Lucchesi.

Highlights

  • The Palù di Livenza, a UNESCO-listed prehistoric pile-dwelling site
  • The castle, rebuilt in the mid-18th century over the earlier fortress
  • Palazzo Fullini-Zaia, with stucco rooms, where Eugène de Beauharnais stayed in 1809
  • Trout from the Alto Livenza, the local speciality
  • The Sagra dei Thést in early September and the chestnut festival in October
