La basilica Giulia che, come tutte le altre, era un edificio destinato a offrire uno spazio coperto per le Funzioni sociali più svariate, fu iniziata da Giulio Cesare nel 54 a.C. al posto della basilica Sempronia e delle tabernae veteres. Fu ricostruita da Augusto che la dedicò nel 12 a.C. La basilica subì vari incendi nel corso dei secoli e fu restaurata nel IV secolo d.C. da Diocleziano e ancora dopo il sacco di Roma di Alarico (410 d.C.). L'edificio a pianta rettangolare era circondato sui quattro lati da un portico a doppio colonnato, di cui sopravvivono solo le basi dei pilastri. Resti delle tabernae, costituiti da piccole aule destinate a uffici e luoghi di riunione, sono visibili sul lato sud dell'edificio.
