Castle of Ragogna

Friuli Collinare - Castle of Ragogna
The castle of Ragogna (6th-18th centuries) is located in a charming, isolated place, surrounded by greenery, on the rocky promontory overlooking the Tagliamento river in the stretch between Ragogna and Pinzano. The first historical evidence which testifies to its existence dates back to the 7th century: Paolo Diacono speaks about it in the Historia Langobardorum, mentioning the Longobard fortresses involved in the battle between Avars and Longobards in the year 610.

The subsequent documents regarding the castle of Ragogna date back to the 12th century, at the time of its feudal lords, the Eppestein, dukes of Carinthia. Currently, the castle complex has been recovered and is the site of various events: you can admire the walls, which originally surrounded the entire hill, some towers, the residential Domus now rebuilt.
