history

On the Monte Santina , an island mountain directly on the Tagliamento , which rises about 50 m above the valley, there was a hilltop settlement in late antiquity and in the early Middle Ages . The fortified system blocked a crossing over the Tagliamento on the old Roman road from Aquileia over the Plöckenpass to Aguntum . Paulus Diaconus mentions it with the name Ibligo in connection with an Avar attack on the Lombard Duchy of Friuli around the year 610 and describes it as impregnable due to its location. Church buildings, cisterns, walls, towers and gates can be proven archaeologically. The village at the foot of Monte Santina still bears the name Invillino today. The Ibligo fort was only identified with Monte Satina in 1962. The cemetery of the residents of Ibligo was probably located on the Col di Zuca hill a few hundred meters upstream , where there was also an early church with a mosaic floor. Up until the 13th century there was a castle of the Patriarch of Venice on Monte Santina , which can be seen as the direct successor to the early medieval complex. The entire community of Villa Santina was severely damaged by the 1976 earthquake.
