The Episcopal Basilica is the most important Christian monument in Aquileia. The building you can see nowadays is the result of the transformations of the Middle Age to the original early Christian building. The excavations carried out since the end of the XIX century allowed the reconstruction of its long history: from the foundation slightly after the 313 A.D. by the bishop Theodor, to the further enlargements due to the growing needs of the Christian society, up to the actions commissioned by the patriarchs John and Popon between the X and the XI century. The over 1300 m2 of wonderful floor mosaics, which can be seen inside it with their polichrome depictions represent one of the most ancient and extraordinary expressions of the rising Chistian art of the first decades of the IV century A.D.
