Cultural Park of Castelraimondo in Forgaria

Friuli Collinare - Cultural Park of Castelraimondo in Forgaria
The pre-Roman archaeological site of Castelraimondo is located in Forgaria nel Friuli, on a stretch of a hill between Forgaria and San Rocco. It's the result of twenty years of research that has brought to light an extraordinary example of an Alpine site. The findings, dating from the 4th century B.C. and the 14th century A.D., allow us to reconstruct and explain its history, from which it's clear that over a long period of time there have been a fortified village, a Roman fortress and a medieval castle on the same place.

A permanent exhibition of the finds found in the excavation of the archaeological site is housed in the Council Chamber of the Municipality of Forgaria.
Coins, fibulae, various tools, fragments of pottery, jewels and weapons are exhibited. Worthy of note is a singular object called "Iynx" (Whisk or Spiritseeker), a whirring, rotating musical instrument, built in bone, attributable to the 4th century B.C. and belonging to the magical-ritual sphere.
