Grado

Tucked along the Adriatic coast within the Grado Lagoon, Grado is a place whose character is shaped by its island setting, tidal channels and wetlands. Long associated with nearby Aquileia, it became an important early Christian centre in late antiquity, a legacy preserved in the Basilica of Sant’Eufemia. Built in the sixth century, the church is known for its broad nave and floor mosaics, while the adjacent baptistery adds to the compact historic core. Beyond the old town, the lagoon’s low islands, reed beds and open water give Grado a distinctly maritime rhythm.
