Cividale del Friuli

 Cividale del Friuli is in northeastern Italy, east of Udine and near the border with Slovenia.  The region is Friuli-Venezia Giulia.  The town was the first settlement of the Lombards (or Longobards) in 568 AD; the next four 'chapters' tell the history of the Longobards, where they came from, and the art they left behind.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lombards

I am fascinated by the construction of stone arched bridges during the early times. It’s not like that they had concrete forms. The engineering in earlier times amazes me!
