Patriarchate of Aquileia, Catholic patriarchate in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy
The Patriarchate of Aquileia controlled an extensive territory in northeastern Italy, functioning as both a religious and political authority from its central location.
The religious institution emerged in the 4th century as a metropolitan province and gained the patriarchal title during the second half of the 6th century.
The patriarchs established a network of religious centers across northern Italy and facilitated the spread of Christianity among neighboring Slavic populations.
The patriarchate transferred its headquarters multiple times, moving from Aquileia to Grado, then to Cormons, and finally to Cividale for security considerations.
The institution maintained two separate patriarchal lines simultaneously after a schism in 606, with one based in Grado and another in Old Aquileia.
