Aquileia fluvial harbor

The fluvial harbor features extensive stone docks, warehouses, and loading areas that showcase ancient Roman engineering and maritime infrastructure capabilities.

Established in the 2nd century BCE, this port complex facilitated trade between the Mediterranean Sea and Central Europe through an intricate network of waterways.

The harbor remains demonstrate the advanced engineering and architectural methods Romans employed for water management and commercial maritime operations.

Visitors can examine the preserved quay structures, observe archaeological excavations, and learn about ancient maritime trade through informational panels.

Archaeological studies reveal an innovative drainage system beneath streets and buildings, constructed using carefully arranged amphorae for water management.
