WHAT TO SEE IN SAN DANIELE?
​
THE FAMOUS PROSCIUTTO OF SAN DANIELE
​
Nestled on a hill 250 meters high, San Daniele del Friuli is renowned for its world-famous prosciutto crudo. The unique microclimate here allows the ham to be air-dried to perfection. There are 30 producers, or "prosciuttifici," some of which offer tours and tastings of this delicacy. Since 1996, it has been awarded the DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) certification, ensuring its authenticity. If you're a fish lover, don't miss the local smoked trout, San Daniele's second famous specialty.
​
THE "SISTINE CHAPEL OF FRIULI"
​
San Daniele isn't just about food; it's a village with hidden gems. The Sant'Antonio Abate church, known as the Sistine Chapel of Friuli, is adorned with stunning Renaissance frescoes. Also worth a visit is Santa Maria della Fratta, where a former watchtower now serves as the altar.
​
THE OLDEST PUBLIC LIBRARY IN FRIULI
​
The Biblioteca Guarneriana, located next to the San Michele Cathedral, is the oldest public library in Friuli. Founded in the 15th century by nobleman Guarnerio d'Artegna, it houses priceless manuscripts, including the beautiful "Codici Miniati" — illuminated books painstakingly created by monks.
