Basilica di Aquileia

Reviewed By peetajohn - Norton, United Kingdom

We knew nothing about this place and only stopped here because of the nearby campsite review. What a place this is and what history! Buy an all-inclusive ticket which gives you access to the basilica, tower and crypt. The basilca is more of a monument than a working church as only the top end is used for services. The rest has an amazing mosaic, the largest I have ver seen, with elevated platforms to walk along and view it all. It is just superb. There is also a sad WW1 graveyard behind the church with the most beautiful and poignant statue in it - very few people visited it when I was there but it was lovely. This is a must-see place - why had we never heard of it before?

Cripta Degli Scavi

Reviewed By I6024ZEandys

These frescoes cover the walls and ceilings and show the development of religious art over the years. They're also really atmospheric to look at, along with the incredible mosaics upstairs
