    We are in one of the most particular and mystical places in the lower Friuli area. Here the course of the Timavo river reappears after having sunk near Škocjan in Slovenia for a 39km long underground route.

    The area of the springs, located in the municipality of Duino-Aurisina, has been an important place of worship since ancient times. The presence of a river that flowed from the earth had intrigued and frightened primitive populations. Diomedes, Hercules, Saturn, the Spes Augusta, Liber Augustus and the god Temavus were venerated.

    Virgil was so impressed by it that he mentioned it three times: Eclogue VIII, 6, Georgics, book III, 475 and Aeneid, book I, 244.

    The Via Flavia passed through here and in the area of the mouth of the Timavo the amber road reached the Adriatic Sea, along which the precious fossil resin was imported from the Baltic since pre-Roman times.

    In the 4th century, with the advent of Christianity, the first chapel was built, which, with subsequent modifications, became the basilica of San Giovanni in Tuba
