Altinum (in Altino, a frazione of Quarto d'Altino 
) was an ancient town of the Veneti 15 km SE of modern Treviso , close to the mainland shore of the Lagoon of Venice. It was also close to the mouths of the rivers Dese, Zero and Sile. It became part of Roman Italy. It was a flourishing port and trading centre during the Roman period. It was destroyed by Attila of the Huns in 452. The town recovered, but it was later abandoned due to its area becoming covered with sand brought by the sea. Its inhabitants moved to Torcello and other islands of the northern part of the lagoon.
Today Altinum is an archaeological area and has a national archaeological museum.
UNESCO World Heritage Site
The "Venice and her Lagoon" UNESCO World Heritage Site was established in 1987. It includes the Altinum archaeological area.
