Given its population and density, San Pietro al Natisone is considered the capital of the Natisone Valleys.
The oldest traces of human life have been discovered in the hamlet of Biarzo, where recent excavations in a cave have unearthed artefacts dating back to the Upper Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods.
Recounting the most important events in the area involves chronicling a succession of invasions by a number of different peoples.
Of particular interest are the routes along the trenches of the First World War, particularly the "Seventh Battle of the Isonzo", at the beginning of the defeat at Caporetto, or routes along the Natisone Valleys to discover examples of sacred art.
