1Day 1 Milano / Aquileia / Trieste
Meals included: dinner
Departure from Milan (location to be determined) by private coach to Aquileia. Meet the guide at the hotel and depart for the city tour of Aquileia.
Before the last stretches of the Venetian plain dissolve into the lagoon, the Basilica of Aquileia rises, majestic and superb with its imposing 73-meter bell tower. Today’s settlement is a modest agricultural village, but it still preserves the remains of one of the largest cities of the Roman Empire, a vital port for commercial communications with the Danube market. The Basilica, built in the 11th century in Romanesque style by expanding a pre-existing church (9th century) that was in turn built on a 5th-century basilica and a 4th-century early Christian hall, with its typical three-nave interior, tells the immense Christian history of the region and the ancient Roman Empire.Time for free lunch. Afterward, continue to the city of Trieste with a photo stop at the Victory Lighthouse. Arriving at the hotel and check into the reserved room. Dinner and overnight stay. -
