Malborghetto-Valbruna is a mountain town located a short distance from the Tarvisio ski facilities. It is an excellent starting point for hiking, trekking, walks, and snowshoe excursions. The cultural sites of greatest interest include the sixteenth-century Palazzo Veneziano that houses the Ethnographic Museum, where history, environmental curiosities, and regional traditions are recounted in a rich, accurately set up path. Opposite the palace, there is the church of the Visitazione di Maria e Sant’Antonio dating back to the 13th century. It became a parish church in 1484 at the wish of the bishop of Bamberg, in order to reunite all the villages of German origin into a single chaplainship. The current construction probably dates back to around 1560 but underwent various alterations and subsequent restorations.
