AbstractIn the current paradigm, AGNs are galaxies that harbour in their centre super massive black holes, the later being the main engine that explains the multi-messenger and extreme nature of these objects. In this talk I will present recent results from a multi-frequency study of radio loud AGNs, and summarise work in progress in the framework of the Gaia (ESA) mission and the Square Kilometer Array pathfinders.
