history

The name Fagagna is mentioned for the first time in 983 in the document with which the Roman-German Emperor Otto II left the castle to the Patriarch of Aquileia , Rodoald . The oldest local settlements are, however, earlier, as proven by corresponding archaeological finds from prehistoric and prehistoric, Roman (when Fagagna inevitably was a station of the passage on the route from Concordia Sagittaria to Norikum ) and high medieval epochs.

From the castle - which once included the Patriarch's Palace and the homes of vassals - have until now only the debris and a converted to a bell tower keep survives. In addition, the remains and some buildings are visible on the hill, which prove the settlement of the old castle village, extensive wall sections that enclosed the fortified place and the only (of three original) preserved castle gate . If you look at the old prayer room of the lords of the castle, the church of the Holy Archangel Michael - whose consecration indicates a possible Longobard castle origin - already existed in 1386. Rebuilt several times, until a nave was added in the 19th century, the church lost its original architectural line which she shows again in a recently restored part.

The Castle Villalta was first mentioned in 1216, stood as a fief of the Patriarch of Aquileia to 1413 in the possession of the Lords of Villalta, after the Counts della Torre to 1905 and since 1973 the barons Taxis-Bordogna-Valnigra .
