Cividale is an ideal base for an itinerary of art and culture. Once the heart of Lombard civilisation, Cividale still bears witness to that period in the superb Tempietto , built over a sheer drop to the Natisone river, and in the marvellous artefacts that still survive and are displayed, along with finds from Roman times, in the National Museum . Nor should visitors miss the impressive Duomo , where every year on 6 January the solemn Messa dello Spadone (Mass of the Great Sword) is celebrated. Finally, you will also be able to explore the busy streets of the pedestrian-only town centre, Piazza Paolo Diacono and the magical atmosphere of the Ponte del Diavolo (Devil's Bridge) .
