Archaeological Area and the Patriarchal Basilica of ... (UNESCO/NHK)

Aquileia (in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy), one of the largest and wealthiest cities of the Early Roman Empire, was destroyed by Attila in the mid-5th century. Most of it still lies unexcavated beneath the fields, and as such it constitutes the greatest archaeological reserve of its kind.
