Friesach (pop. 5,000) is the oldest town in Carinthia, with the city charter dating from 1215, but the place has been inhabited since much earlier - a document from 860, signed by King Ludwig, transfers an estate "in the birch forest" ("ad friesah", from Slavic breza) in then Carantania to the Archdiocese of Salzburg.
