🎧  Listen to Introduction

Aquileia (in Friuli Venezia Giulia) was one of the largest and richest cities of the early Roman Empire, destroyed by Attila in the middle of the 5th century. Much of its remains remain buried under fields to this day, making it the largest archaeological reserve of its kind. The Patriarchal Basilica is an outstanding building with a unique mosaic pavement, which played a key role in the evangelization of much of Central Europe.
