About This Tour
Come and discover Aquileia, a Roman city and UNESCO site. It's hard to imagine, but once upon a time, during the heyday of the Roman Empire, this small village near the Adriatic coast was a bustling commercial city that due to its size and splendor was the fourth largest city in Italy! Aquileia is an exceptional archaeological site which has been part of the UNESCO world heritage site since 1998. We will visit the excavations and ancient remains of the Roman Forum, the imposing structures of the old river port and the remains of the Roman Domus. Don't miss the magnificent Early Christian Basilica which houses the largest mosaic floor in the Western Christian world dating back to the fourth century. The last gem is Tito Macro's Domus. The largest reconstruction of a real Domus in Italy of 1,700 m2. From the engine of the Roman city to the wonders of the Middle Ages to end with the history of the First World War: this is the meaning of this very interesting tour.
