Basilica di Sant'Eufemia

I was impressed by this Basilica. By first look it doesn't looks so important and noble, but than you discover, that it has great mosaics on the whole tloris. That there are no frescoes, but you can still sees remainings of its frescoes on the walls. That there is an amazing octagonal baptisterium separated from church building. There is also a free museum with antique marble stone collection. The basilica has also treasure with in the vault. There is also famous golden altar. But at the end you can feel small and just sit down on the bench and pray with gratitude to God.

"A visit to the basilica is an absolute must when you are in the city. Its rich history, dating back to the [e.g., 12th century], offers a profound glimpse into the region's past. The view of the basilica itself is truly impressive; its [e.g., soaring Gothic architecture/grand Baroque facade] dominates the cityscape and is breathtaking from every angle. Inside, you'll be captivated by the shimmering, intricate mosaics that adorn the entire floor, depicting [e.g., stunning biblical narratives/complex geometric patterns]. Furthermore, the collection of beautifully carved statues of saints inside adds to the profound spiritual atmosphere of the church. Allow yourself at least an hour to fully immerse yourself in its beauty and history."

Very, very beautiful! Grado is a beautiful town with many restaurants and retail stores as well! We love it!

Beautiful church, open during the day on weekdays and weekends (free admission).

Visiting the Basilica di Saint'Euphemia in Grado was a truly moving experience. The atmosphere inside is serene and filled with history — the stunning mosaics, the graceful architecture, and the sense of timelessness make this place incredibly special. A must-visit while in Grado!

A very old church, in the historical town Grado. I recommend visiting it, if you spend some time in this beautiful town. When you attend the holy mass on sunday you can hear the wonderful chore during the mass, mainly consisting of elder Grado citizens. A pleasant experience.

Ancient church in the heart of "Old Grado". The whole area is extremely worthy of a tour. There is a "labirinth" of narrow alleys and streets that open - almost suddenly - in small squares ("Calli"). Often there are restaurants, almost hidden but valuable.

A great place with astonishing architecture & history.
