What to expect

  1. 2m
    We are in the municipality of Ravenna, about 10 km from the city center, but the landscape couldn't be more different!
  2. Piazza del Popolo
    2m
    The square changed its name several times over the centuries and the current name is due to 1946, the year in which Italy chose the republic instead of the monarchy.
  3. Mausoleo di Galla Placidia
    Pass by
    The exterior of the mausoleum appears rather bare, but you will find the real wonder inside!
  4. Basilica di San Vitale
    Pass by
    The building is considered one of the best examples of Byzantine art in Italy and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  5. Museo Nazionale di Ravenna
    Pass by
    The building that houses the museum is the former Benedictine monastery of San Vitale, right next to the basilica of the same name.
  6. Domus dei Tappeti di Pietra
    Pass by
    It is a complex of housing structures dating from the Roman Republican age to the Byzantine period.
  7. 1m
    The interior is now a modern commercial space with retail stalls, two restaurants and also taste laboratories to taste the various excellences of Romagna.
  8. Battistero degli Ariani
    Pass by
    The baptistery was once decidedly more imposing, but unfortunately the progressive sinking of the ground has exceeded two meters over the centuries.
  9. Mausoleo di Teodorico
    Pass by
    Inside you will find the red porphyry basin in which, in ancient times, Theodoric's remains were placed.
  10. Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo
    Pass by
    The current name is due to the fact that, in the 9th century, the relics of Sant'Apollinare, previously preserved in the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe, were transferred there.
  11. Dante's Tomb
    Pass by
    Dante's remains have been requested for centuries by the Florentines and have also escaped the destruction of the two world wars.
  12. Basilica di San Francesco
    2m
    Under the church there is a crypt, built between the 9th and 10th centuries, partially flooded, which can be reached by a double flight of stairs.
  13. Battistero Neoniano (Battistero degli Ortodossi)
    Pass by
    The name derives from the fact that it is opposed to the Arian baptistery, a Christian doctrine considered heretical.
  14. Duomo di Ravenna
    2m
    Of the ancient church you can still admire the bell tower, with its characteristic cylindrical shape.
  15. Archiepiscopal Museum
    Pass by
    The highlight of the museum is certainly the chair of Bishop Maximian, a throne made of ebony and covered in ivory, probably made in Constantinople in the 6th century.
  16. Cappella Arcivescovile Di Sant'andrea
    Pass by
    The final point of the visit to the archiepiscopal museum is the Archiepiscopal Chapel, or Chapel of St. Andrew, which is located on the first floor of the building.
  17. Basilica Di Sant'Apollinare In Classe
    Pass by
    Consecrated in 549, it is dedicated to the first bishop of Ravenna and martyr Saint Apollinare, whose remains have been preserved here for centuries.
