Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Aquileia

Right next to it is the National Archaeological Museum.

First, examine the outer surface.







Back inside, where there are loads of antique exhibits to see on two floors.

Timballo Udine

We continued on to Udine. Before driving into town, we stopped at Timballo, the only gelateria in the area with Tre Coni in Gambero Rosso.

There was a wide selection and there were even seats available.


As expected, the gelato was very good.



Well invested

Museo Diocesano e Gallerie del Tiepolo Udine

The first stop in Udine was the Diocesan Museum with the Tiepolo gallery. The former bishop's palace mainly houses sacred art, along with a few frescoes by Tiepolo.

Accademia Del Gelato Udine

Finally, we had some gelato. Accademia del Gelato has two cones in Gambero Rosso and is quite close to the cathedral.


A good selection.

The gelato was delicious; we were not disappointed.

First on the itinerary was Piran in Slovenia. Tiran Square is one of the most famous squares in the area, lined with a row of beautiful houses.










St. Peter's Church is also located on the square.

St. Georg Piran

In the photos of the square, you could already see a church in the background, which is St. George's, dominating the city skyline.

It is an ensemble consisting of the church itself, the bell tower and the baptistery.




Inside, it is a church furnished in Baroque style.
