    A short distance from Palmanova and Udine, Aquileia is a place steeped in antiquity. Born in 181 BC. as a defensive fortress, it gained importance over time until it was called the "second Rome". It is currently famous for its archaeological site and adjacent museum, as well as for the patriarchal basilica of Santa Maria Assunta.

      Although the basilica dates from the 11th century, it was built on previous buildings.
      The wavy mosaic of the floor is significantly older, it dates from the 4th century AD and is therefore about 1600 years old!
      Awesome stands before the pictures and patterns that humans created so long ago.

        Very impressive is the view of the former Roman river port on the Natissa. About him goods were brought to Aquileia in small ships from the larger Adriatic port Grado, which was a district of Aquileia.
