The magnificent Villa Manin is situated in passariano near Codroipo. A stately, harmonious complex constructed by the powerful Manin family between the 17th and the 18th century, it is one of the most prestigious mansions in Friuli Venezia Giulia and can undoubtedly be considered the greatest example of Venetian villas in the region. This architectural gem was the residence of the last Doge of Venice Manin and became the general headquarters of Napoleon Bonaparte, who stayed there for about two months. A splendid park is annexed to the Villa, with a wealth of rare botanical species, and some very striking pictoresque views of lakes, hills and sculpture groups of mythological figures.
