The Roman Forum is located on the cycle path through Aquileia

Ruins from Roman times. They are clearly visible from the FVG1 cycle path and can be visited free of charge during the day.

The Roman Forum of Aquileia was the center of the town's public life, functioning as a market, administrative center and meeting place for the inhabitants. Today, you can explore the remains of the Roman Forum, including the partially reconstructed basilica and the remains of various other buildings. These ruins offer a glimpse into the daily life and architecture of ancient Roman civilization.

The Basilica Santa Maria Assunta is the largest and most admired monument of ancient Aquileia. What we see today is the result of various renovations and expansions carried out over the centuries, which however have not compromised the solemnity of the building and the charm that it still exerts on visitors. The true jewel of the basilica is the floor mosaic, which covered the two large worship halls built in the early 4th century. The mosaic in the southern hall, which corresponds to the current basilica, with its 750 m2 is the largest in the Western Christian world. For almost a third of its extension it is dedicated to the story of Jonah and is surprising for the richness and precision of the details. The north hall instead corresponds to the current crypt of the excavations: some of the surviving mosaics, visible around the foundations of the bell tower built at the beginning of the 11th century, are particularly accurate and still mysterious in their symbolism. The crypt of the frescoes, however, dates back to the 9th century and is decorated with images from the 12th century which present a singular union between the Christian arts of the East and the West. In the period April-September it is possible to climb the bell tower, over 70 meters high, which offers a view over the entire city and the surrounding plain up to the sea. The basilica complex also includes the baptistery and its south hall.

With Salzburg as the starting point, the Alps as the stage point and Grado on the Adriatic as the destination, the cycle path connects extremely beautiful and popular holiday destinations. Because of this and the fact that high Alpine passes are bridged by train through the Tauern lock and are therefore no longer necessary, the cycle path has been a popular transalp since it opened in 2012, as it is not particularly difficult in terms of technology and fitness.

If you like Roman remains you should stop here. Can be visited without admission.

It deserves for the diversity of the places crossed

The section marks a part of the Radfer Weg. From Cervignano in Friuli it goes more or less straight ahead to Grado. Little variety - mostly without shade, this part of the Alpe-Adria cycle path (to Grado) is certainly the least fun... justmy2cents
