Grado

Grado Essentials

Grado, the "Golden Island," preserves a historic core built on a Roman castrum. The town features the 6th-century Basilica of Sant'Eufemia and the adjacent octagonal Baptistery, alongside the smaller Basilica di Santa Maria delle Grazie. Beyond the ancient center, the Grado Lagoon encompasses a vast ecosystem of canals and "casoni" (traditional fishermen's huts). The island's legacy as an Austro-Hungarian health resort continues at the Terme Marine, while the Costa Azzurra beach provides sandy access to the northern Adriatic.
