- Aquileia: in this Unesco World Heritage Site you can visit various ruins dating back from the Roman Empire - the forum and the ancient roman port are especially well maintained. We absolutely recommend you to get into the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta to admire one of the biggest still existing early christian mosaics - the Cripta degli Scavi. You can also visit the National Archeological Museum if you want to see further Roman objects and vestiges that were found in Aquileia and its surroundings.
