Archaeological Area and the Patriarchal Basilica of Aquileia

The archaeological complex spans 155 hectares, featuring Roman structures including a forum, river port, markets, baths, and residential buildings from ancient times.

Established in 181 BC, Aquileia developed into a major Roman trading center before its destruction by Attila the Hun in 452 AD.

The basilica contains extensive fourth-century mosaic floors depicting biblical scenes and local elements, representing early Christian art development in northern Italy.

The site receives approximately 200,000 annual visitors and maintains wheelchair-accessible pathways throughout the archaeological area and basilica complex.

The ancient river port installation includes preserved warehouses and quays integrated into fourth-century defense structures along the riverbank.
