Walk through the city that was capital of the Western Roman Empire, the Ostrogothic Kingdom, and the Byzantine Exarchate. GPS-triggered narrations play automatically as you explore all 8 UNESCO World Heritage sites.
San Vitale's Justinian and Theodora mosaics, the starry vault of Galla Placidia, and the paradise apse of Sant'Apollinare in Classe. The greatest Byzantine art outside Istanbul.
The Ostrogothic king's palace church, his Arian baptistery, the Church of Santo Spirito, and his monumental tomb — the only building in Ravenna made entirely of stone, capped with a 230-tonne monolith.
The tomb of Italy's supreme poet, the Zona del Silenzio, the Byron Museum, the flooded crypt of San Francesco, the TAMO mosaic museum, and the Domus stone carpets.
The supreme achievement of Byzantine art in Europe. The apse panels of Justinian and Theodora — surrounded by their courts — are the most reproduced images from the entire Middle Ages.
A tiny chapel with a midnight-blue vault covered in gold stars. The Good Shepherd lunette glows in amber light filtered through alabaster windows. Ravenna's oldest mosaics.
Standing alone in the fields at the ancient Roman port. The apse mosaic of St Apollinaris in a green paradise beneath a golden cross is the greatest apse mosaic in Western art.
Italy's supreme poet died in exile here. Florence has demanded his bones for 700 years — Ravenna has always refused. The eternal flame burns olive oil sent by Florence as penance.
The only building in Ravenna made entirely of stone — no brick, no mortar. The roof is a single 230-tonne monolith shipped across the Adriatic from Istria. Gothic, not Roman.
The crypt of San Francesco is permanently flooded with groundwater. Goldfish swim over 5th-century Byzantine mosaic floors. The effect is accidental but haunting.
