Discover Caneva: Castle, Trails and FigoMoro

Caneva combines a tangible historical past with trails, regional culture and unique insights into the landscape. The Castello di Caneva was mentioned in written records in 1034, when Emperor Conrad II granted it to Poppo, the Patriarch of Aquileia. Those interested in history, architecture and the development of historic places will find several specific points of interest here to consider when planning their trip.

The Castello di Caneva and its history: ruins, defensive walls, the Chapel of Santa Lucia and bell tower

The ruins of the Castello di Caneva consist of the foundations of several massive defensive walls and towers. The Chapel of Santa Lucia is located within the walls. It was built at the end of the 16th century. The bell tower is also part of the Castello's architectural history: it was built on top of an older tower.

The Castello di Caneva, a castle, is also located in the immediate vicinity of Caneva. Palazzo Flangini - Biglia, a palace, is likewise nearby. Together, these sites broaden the historical perspective on Caneva to include different forms of representative and defensive architecture, without limiting you to a single building.

Public bus services and trails around Caneva: the Greenway and Col de Fer

Public bus services are one option for travelling to the Castello di Caneva: the castle can be reached by bus from Pordenone and Sacile. This bus connection may play a role in planning a day between Pordenone, Sacile and Caneva.

The Greenway Bicitalia 12 also gives Caneva a clear connection to cycling. The cycling corridor passes through Stevenà, Caneva, Fiaschetti and Sarone and reaches the border with Veneto. Another trail in Caneva begins near a historic fountain and follows a mule track towards the Castello di Caneva on Col de Fer.

FigoMoro and Villa Frova in Caneva

Another side of Caneva can be seen at “In campagna col FigoMoro”. At this event, you can enter the FigoMoro orchards together with the producers. The direct insight into the orchards focuses attention on cultivation, local products and the practical connection with the landscape.

“In campagna col FigoMoro” held its tenth edition at Villa Frova in Caneva. Villa Frova is therefore associated with an event that places FigoMoro and its orchards at the centre. When choosing a hotel in Caneva, you can therefore first consider whether historic buildings, cycling and walking trails, or regional products are particularly important to you.
