Cividale del Friuli - Tempietto Longobardo

At Porta Brossana is the former Benedictine convent of Santa Maria in Valle, picturesquely situated on the banks of the Natisone, with the Tempietto, the front part of a Lombard church destroyed by a spate of the river (stucco reliefs of the eighth-ninth centuries; frescoes of the 14th/15th century; 14th century choir-stalls). Lower down, on the river bank, is the church of Santi Pietro e Biagio, with the remains of ancient frescoes.
