Borgo rurale Arcano Inferiore

The ancient village is situated to the south of the castle of Arcano, with a view of the Ledra canal and the Corno valley. According to several sources, its origin is thought to date back to a period somewhere between the 15th and the 16th centuries. A fief of the nobles of Asquino, the village cultivated the farmsteads, the products of which constituted the prebends of the Chapter of Aquileia. The small settlement developed over time from rural buildings, which can be accessed via the typical hallways of the farm buildings. The characteristics of the dwellings is the distribution of their rooms, which is only slightly different between one building and the next: on the ground floor there are cellars and stables, while on the first floor there are the bedrooms and in the attic the hay barn; to the rear, the barnyard and the vegetable gardener divided among the different families. A central element of the rural settlement is the little church of San Giorgio, slightly raised with respect to the clearing in front of it. The building was consecrated in 1505 and consist of a main hall, preceded by an entrance hallway with a roof supported by two pillars; on the top of the building there is a small double lancet bell tower in which there are two little bells. Next to the church, there is an ancient rural building, recently renovated, with stone walls and the remains of several pointed windows made from bricks.
