Villach

Villach is located on the Drau River near its confluence with the Gail tributary.

The oldest human traces found in Villach date back to the late Neolithic.

Villach received market rights in 1060 but was not mentioned as a town until about 1240.

The K3 Film Festival has taken place annually since 2007, focusing on filmmaking from Carinthia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and Slovenia.

Villach is twinned with Bamberg, Germany since 1973.
