An important Paleovenetian center, located at the intersection of Via Annia and Via Postumia. It was called Julia Concordia by the Romans who in 42 BC used it as a military colony.
Concordia Sagittaria also has traces of the ancient Roman city; pieces of the wall and traces of large urban structures such as the forum, the theater, the Roman baths and part of a three-arched bridge over which the Via Annia passed.

The exodus of Venetians caused by barbarian invasions, lead inhabitants to transfer from Caorle to this settlement. Concordia was downgraded to a mere stronghold gaining the nickname of "Sagittarius" because of the factory of arrows called sagittae. Only around the eleventh century the Venetian town once again became a stronghold and used as a dependent diocese by the Patriarch of Aquileia.

The remains of the early Christian complex are the oldest evidence of Christian faith in the Veneto region. Concordia provides a truly extraordinary scene of history and art coming from the IV and XI centuries: fenced sepulchral, the Apsotolorum Basilica, enriched with mosaics, the Trichora Martyrum, a trilobite building for the conservation of the relics of saints, the Baptistery which is splendidly decorated with frescoes.

This journey into the past can not miss a visit to the Civic Archaeological Museum with its Roman and early Christian findings, and materials found during excavations are also on display at the National Concordense Museum of Portogruaro.
