WHAT
Aquileia, an important city of the Roman Empire and then the main centre for the diffusion of Christianity in Northern and Eastern Europe, represents an extraordinary opportunity to broaden knowledge, offering an unforgettable visiting experience.

It has been a UNESCO site since 1998 due to the importance of its archaeological area and the beauty of the floor mosaics that it safeguards. Among them, the largest and most well-known attraction is the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta, dating back to the fourth century. However, added to this are other precious mosaic remains from the Roman and early Christian ages, which make Aquileia a kind of capital of the Western Roman mosaic.

Besides the basilica complex, the Early Christian National Museum and the National Archaeological Museum must be included in your visit.
Friulian cooking, cultural events and traditional festivals (such as Friuli Doc), make of Aquileia an inviting place for an unforgettable holiday or weekend break.

HOW
Aquileia is at 45 minutes by car from Trieste and Aquileia and at 1 hour and a half from Venice.
I suggest you park in the northern area of ​​the town, and take the path that will take you to the basilica, following this tour on foot.
Once back, you can decide to visit the National Paleo-Christian Museum.
In the description of this video you’ll find the best tips on where to eat and where to stay overnight.
And, if you are in Aquileia, do not miss the opportunity to also visit Grado e Palmanova.

WHY
Visit Aquileia if you are a lover of Roman and Christian history and ancient mosaics, and also to enjoy Friuli on a gloomy day, because most of the attractions of Aquileia are indoors.
