History

On Monte Santina, an island mountain right on the Tagliamento, which is about 50 m rises above the valley, was in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages a hillfort. The fortified complex locked a crossing of the Tagliamento on the old Roman road from Aquileia on the Plöckenpass after Aguntum. Paul the Deacon mentions named Ibligo in connection with an Avar attack on the Lombard Duchy of Friuli around the year 610 and describes it through his position as impregnable. Archeology can be churches, cisterns, walls, towers and gates prove. The village at the foot of Monte Santina named Invillino today. The identification of the fort Ibligo with the Monte Satina took place only in 1962. Cemetery of the residents of Ibligo was probably at the few hundred meters upstream nearby hill Col di Zuca, where there is also an early church took place with a floor mosaic. Until the 13th century was on the Monte Santina a castle of the Patriarch of Venice, which is seen as a direct successor of the early medieval system. The entire municipality of Villa Santina was severely damaged by the earthquake of 1976.
