Tarvisio - Santi Pietro e Paolo
The parish church of Tarvisio (German "Tarvis") was built within the 15th century. The round octagonal "Karner" (= ossuary) next to it may date from the 13th century, when a second round tower existed here as well. The church was strongly fortified, surrounded by walls and ditches, as the area was raided by Turkish troops from 1478 on. The tower, later used as a "karner" or "mausoleum", was in the beginning built for defense. Karners do not need loop holes.
Tarvisio is located on an old, important Trans-Alpine road, only about 8kms south of the border between Italy and Austria. It belonged from 1002 to 1759 to the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg (= "Hochstift Bamberg).
In medieval times Bamberg (about 600kms north) was the center of a very powerful diocese. When in 1238 Berthold V. von Andechs became Patriarch of Aquileia and moved the capital of the ecclesiastical state from Cividale to Udine (see previous uploads), his uncle Poppo von Andechs-Meranien was Bishop in Bamberg.
