Aquileia was once a significant Roman city with perhaps as many as 200,000 residents. Although it is off Italy's main tourist routes, this is an important archaeological site with UNESCO World Heritage status. Aquileia was founded in 181BC to be a base for Roman power in this part of Europe. The town, strategically located for military and trading purposes, grew to be one of the most important cities in Roman Italy and the capital of a large area. The main square, Piazza Capitolo, a few yards off the main road, is large and picturesque, dominated by the large basilica and its massive eleventh-century white stone campanile (belltower). The basilica is the surviving part of a huge complex built by Bishop Theodore for Aquileia's early Christians, and is still used for religious services today. The most striking feature is the huge fourth-century mosaic floor.
