アクイレイアのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

アクイレイアのサンタ・マリア・アスンタ大聖堂は、西世界最大の初期キリスト教時代のモザイクを収蔵していることで特に知られる、計り知れない歴史的価値を持つ傑作です。西暦4世紀に遡るこの驚くべき床モザイクは、750平方メートル以上に及び、色とりどりのテッセラ（小片）を通して、ヨナの物語のような聖書の場面や、雄鶏と亀の戦いのような複雑な象徴主義を描いています。 モザイク以外にも、この大聖堂はロマネスク様式がゴシック様式やルネサンス様式と融合した建築的なパリンプセスト（重ね書き文書）です。12世紀のビザンチン絵画があるフレスコ画の地下聖堂や、テオドシウス時代の古代構造物の遺跡の上を歩くことができる発掘調査の地下聖堂は、非常に示唆に富んでいます。フリウリ平野を睥睨する荘厳な鐘楼は、11世紀にローマ円形劇場から回収された大理石を使用して建てられ、帝国の都市とそのキリスト教の遺産との間の、切り離せない絆の象徴となっています。

キリスト教全体の最も重要な初期キリスト教の大聖堂の一つ。4世紀の素晴らしいモザイクでユネスコ世界遺産に登録されています。
