What to expect

  1. Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo
    40m · Admission ticket not included
    This is the Ravenna basilica with the largest mosaic area of the early Christian era; here the ghost of the Gothic king Theoderic still lingers, who stopped here and wanted the palatine chapel
  2. Dante's Tomb
    20m · Admission ticket included
    Of all the famous Italians in the world, perhaps the best known remains Dante Alighieri, who spent many years of his life here and here he composed Paradise, at the end of his Comedy, certainly inspired by the magnificent mosaics of Ravenna and its atmospheres a little noir.
  3. Mausoleo di Galla Placidia
    10m · Admission ticket not included
    It is the city treasure, which contains the early Christian mosaics in the most beautiful glass paste in the world
  4. Basilica di San Vitale
    40m · Admission ticket not included
    This octagonal temple of the sixth century is a true hymn to life, starting from its dedication to the Holy martyr Vitale. Its dome, object of study of the greatest architects of the world, from Brunelleschi to Palladio, from Antonio da Sangallo the Younger to Le Corbusier, makes pendant with the perhaps most famous mosaics of the city: those that represent the emperor Justinian and his wife Teodora, muse of many more or less contemporary artists, from Gustave Klimt to Karl Lagerfeld, from Christian Lacroix to many other masters of style and refinement.
