Pordenone. In the heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia we offer the exclusive manor of Cosa Castle, which boasts a long and illustrious history of noble rule. Its origins date back to the 9th century, when a fortress was built for defensive purposes on the Tagliamento River. The castle, surrounded by a park of centuries-old trees, retains its original rectangular shape with 3 corner towers (the fourth was demolished during the Great War) and is surrounded by a large 12th-century wall. The historic main building consists of 3 floors: The ground floor of approximately 1,060 square metres and a height of 3.40 metres consists of a large storage area (it used to house a ‘wine museum’), toilets with anti-services and a thermal power station, an archive, an office in the south-east tower, a rustic kitchen and a dining room in the south-west tower.

The first floor, or piano nobile, (a total of approximately 780 square metres and a height of 4.50 metres with exposed wooden beams), accessible among other things by the double external staircase, houses four halls frescoed by Friulian painter Mario Rabassi between 1989 and 1991; the images depicted have a close connection with both the wine context and the history of the building, in fact there are the coats of arms of the city and the families linked to the Castle together with allegorical images of grapes and wine. These halls, given their large capacity, are suitable for organising concerts, music and dance evenings, conferences, weddings, theme parties, exhibitions and more. The floors, with floor heating, are all covered with Venetian granite. There are also toilets with anti-services and a large uncovered terrace of about 280 square metres.
