Recommended Posts

The architectural development of the Basilica of Aquileia, dedicated to the Virgin Mary started in the years immediately after 313AD. The entire floor is a wonderful colored mosaic of the 4th century. With 760 square meters the floor is the largest Paleo-Christian mosaic of the western world. They’ve installed a glass walkway so you can walk over parts of the floor. The apsidal frescos date back to the first half of the 11th century.
