    Description
    Grado is a small, ancient town situated between Venice and Trieste on a peninsula bordered by the Adriatic Sea. Because of Grado's proximity to Aquileia 3 (significant imperial Roman city), it became a haven for refugees fleeing Huns (5th C.) and Lombards (late 6th C.), and inherited some of its neighbor's importance. Very ancient church buildings survive in Grado: the two churches of Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Basilica of Sant' Eufemia, and the free-standing, octagonal baptistery, which dates from the late 5th C.
