Collegio Marconi
The Marconi College complex articulated over the centuries on the same site where most probably the town arose around the year 1000. Between the 10th and the 11th century the first episcopal castle was erected, the fortified residence of the bishops from Concordia, to which a chapel was annexed, today the sacred church of the Saints Cristoforo and Luigi. In 1243 the complex was bestowed to the monks of Santa Maria dei Crociferi of Venice, in order that they could run a refuge, a hospital destined to receive pilgrims and wayfarers. After the suppression of the order of the Crociferi in 1658, the monastery was acquired by the bishop Paolo Vallaresso who, in 1704, decided to make it the seat of the Diocesan Seminary. During the First World War the complex was the seat of the Austrian Headquarters and then a military hospital. During the first postwar period the Episcopal Seminary was transferred to Pordenone and the Marconi College, which has become an important school complex between Veneto and Friuli, was founded.
