Sesto al Reghena

Sesto al Reghena 

Sesto al Reghena lies few kilometers away from Portogruaro, on the way to Pordenone.
It is a small village with a precious treasure: the St. Mary in Silvis Abbey, a splendid example of fortified monastery. It was founded by Longobards in the 18th cent. and later modified during the Roman time assuming a structure similar to the one we can admire today. Of the ancient defensive works, moats and towers, little is left: only a massive tower remains to testify the past power of the Abbey.
Inside the Basilica medieval frescos (14th cent.) by Giottesque painters are to be admired, as well in the crypt, the urn of St. Anastasia, masterpiece of Longobardic art of the 8th cent. 

The church is also seat of cultural events: to mention the concerts of ancient music performed by world known artists and the living crib featuring the main moments of Jesus’ birth which takes place on Christmas Eve and in the afternoon of Boxing Day.
The Abbey is part of a monastery complex of which today we can see the look-out tower with plaster strips dating back to about 1050 transformed in bell tower, the ancient Abbey Chancellery and the abbots’ residence in Renaissance style which is now the seat of the local Town Hall. 

The origins of Sesto date back to the pre-Roman time as testified by archeological finds and by the meaning of its place-name: in fact, in Latin Sesto indicates the location of a military camp at six miles from Julia Concordia, that is the present town of Concordia Sagittaria. 

Its present denomination dates back to 1867 when Friuli Region was annexed
to Italy and it refers to the Reghena river which flows through the village.
Not to miss a visit to the surroundings in order to admire the beautiful landscape as well as other art works: the ancient water-mill of Stalis, the fountain of Venchieredo, the saw-mill (18th cent.) in Casette and Villa Freschi in Ramuscello.
