Aquileia - The Basilica - A Brief Guide - World Heritage Site

The Basilica of Aquileia is a treasure of memory and tradition. Its memory centres on Easter - the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ - the pivotal event of
Christian faith. This is not a recollection of the past, but a living presence within the ecclesial community, which continues to gather every Sunday in the sacrament
of the Eucharist. Its tradition is witnessed in the language of architecture and art, which recount how the same paschal mystery has been expressed in differing forms - an
extraordinary effort to adapt to the cultural context and spiritual sensitivity of each period in history.
