Many artistic and architectural details can be appreciated while walking through the walls of the medieval village of Venzone. Attentive observers can notice the marks left by various historical events by following a walking path from the south entrance to the north gate.

Entering through the lower gate, a round arch dating back to 1835, on the right we find Casa Marcurele, the oldest building in the village, built in the 11th century in Romanesque style with bas-relief mullioned windows.

Proceeding north, we notice the 14th-century Palazzo degli Scaligeri and Palazzo Zinutti, an 18th-century building embellished with an elegant balcony with wrought iron railing and a baroque doorway.

In this historical path, it is essential to pause and admire the 14th-century Romanesque-Gothic Duomo, considered the symbol of post-earthquake restoration. The Duomo was consecrated in 1338 by Patriarch Bertrando, its T-shaped plan consists of a longitudinal nave and a wide transept with three apsidal presbyteries and two towers.

The organ inside the Duomo of Venzone dates back to 1792 and is the work of the master organ builder G. Callido.

In the front churchyard of the Duomo, we find the Cappella di San Michele, built in 1200 and currently housing the permanent museum dedicated to the Mummies of Venzone.

Resuming the path through the historic center, one encounters Casa Calderari (14th century) with its welcoming inner courtyard and arrives at Piazza Municipio, where the Town Hall stands. A Gothic palace built in the 1400s and rebuilt in the 1500s, its external facades are decorated with the coats of arms of the oldest noble families of Venzone and adorned with Gothic-flowered mullioned windows.

Overlooking the square is also Palazzo Radiussi, a noble residence characterized by a 15th-century Venetian Gothic trifora and a 17th-century portal.

Continuing north, we find Palazzo Orgnani Martina, an 18th-century noble palace now hosting the main museums and temporary exhibitions of Venzone. On the opposite side of Via Mistruzzi, we can admire the former Palazzo Radiussi, from the 15th century, enriched by a Renaissance balcony and a Gothic-flowered mullioned window.

Arriving at the north gate, we take a side street that runs alongside the city walls and allows us to reach Palazzo Pozzo, a 17th-century noble palace, and a little further on, the former Augustinian convent, a 15th-century building with a 17th-century portico and loggia. Continuing on Via Alberton del Colle, we arrive at the remains of the Church of S. Giovanni Battista, erected in the 14th century, whose ruins still testify to the violence of the 1976 earthquake, which spared only the main facade. The portal of the Church bears the architectural features of the Gothic style with capitals decorated with figures and floral motifs.

Crossing transversely through the historic center, we find Porta S. Genesio, a 14th-century defense tower that is grafted onto the corner of the inner walls and represents the only completely reconstructed gate.

The village of Venzone is surrounded by a wide moat and an interesting double circle of walls from the 13th century: the first wall forms an embankment on which the second is built, interspersed with rectangular section towers, while on the southwestern corner stands a polygonal tower.
