POLCENIGO

The eighteenth century elegance of Palazzo Fullini-Zaja, which keeps inside magnificent stuccoes, and Palazzo Savorgnan-Salice overlook the square of Polcenigo. In the middle of the short slope to the castle hill there is the Church of San Giacomo with the annexed Franciscan friary, the most ancient of the Diocesi of Concordia, mentioned for the first time in 1262. The Church, rebuilt in 1483 and more than once changed and enlarged, preserves interesting frescos of the XIV and XV centuries, the "Natività della Vergine" by Egidio Dell'Oglio, a magnificent organo and a wooden choir of the XVIII century. A part of the harmonious cloister, rooms with painted lacunar ceiling and some metopes of XV century remain of the ancient friary. At short distance there are the Church of Ognissanti and the Church of San Rocco, whose bell-tower was a guard tower of the boundary walls. From that place you can go to the square through the characteristic Via San Rocco, or through "strada vecchia" (Via Coltura), which was the first real street of the ancient village; it's unusual for its double level. Along this street there are a lot of houses which belonged to noble families in XVI, XVII and XVIII centuries.
