Caneva, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, is a land of ancient wines (Marzemino in particular) and a starting point for pleasant excursions in the woods of the mountain above.
Caneva is a village of quarries.
Stone, the characterizing element of the history and architecture of the town, has been used since ancient times to construct houses, fences, communication routes, and artifacts.
What to visit
Caneva boasts:
- The ruins of the castle built around 1000;
- The Church of San Tommaso Apostolo was built between 1822 and 1831;
- The Bosco del Cansiglio, which, with the remains of a hunters' camp, is the first specific evidence of human presence in the area dated 11,000 years BC;
- The "Palù di Livenza" Archaeological Park, the largest European site with the remains of a human pile-dwelling settlement and the richest in archaeological material with numerous finds from the Upper Paleolithic, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011.
