Overview

Ravenna: a treasure of the Mediterranean: A hidden world of mosaics and underground crypts, the absolute pearl of art of Emilia Romagna region.
Several populations estabilished on the sandy Adriatic coast. This endless territory of marsh, wetlands, lagoons, swamps, despite being partially unhealthy, turned out to be the perfect shelter for a craddle of civilisation. The pines of the coast started to be exploited by romans to build their undefeatable fleet.
Our tour will be as rich in detail and complete as possible, in order to let you dive into this golden age, and let you travel back in time with your mind and your senses.

Activity itinerary

Basilica di San Vitale

35m
Admission ticket included

We will begin the visit with the church of San Vitale and its mosaics. This is not just the most important byzantine monument in the World, and dut to that a milestone of Unesco heritage, it is a mystic trip as well. It is a trip into the early middle age, and accross a huge book of mosaics and little gems.

Battistero Neoniano (Battistero degli Ortodossi)

30m
Admission ticket included

Another Byzantine pearl, and Unesco site, it is famous for its mixture of marbles, mosaics, and sculptures; a unique ensemble of late Roman, Roman, Persian, Greek, and barbarian art.

Basilica di San Francesco

25m

Incredible the surprise, welcoming us, after this full immersion into the mosaic tiles, precious stones covered with glass paste and bright colours, set in the millenary red clay bricks: an underground crypt, subject to flooding due to the subsidence of the soil (a structure that reminds us to the Basilica Cistern of Istambul).

Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo

35m
Admission ticket included

a Unesco Heritagem a grat temple of early Christian age, full of mosaics, and art masterpieces.

Archiepiscopal Museum

30m
Admission ticket included

Visit to this great Museum, its huge collection of Roman, Byzantine, Barbarian and early middle ages manufacts, moreover an ark consisting of a wooden armour completely covered with finely carved ivory, represents one of the most precious artistic testimonies of the ancient world.

Mausoleo di Galla Placidia

30m
Admission ticket included

our last Unesco site of this great tour, a tomb of the sister of the Byzantine Emperor Onorio. The light filters accross the alabaster glasses, the golden atmosphere spread out all around the inner walls and domes. The ellenistic, the greek, and the persian iconographies tell a storey dating many thousands years ago, when the Mediterranean Sea was a unique closed and interconnected basin, and a craddle of several wealthy civilisations.
