Superb early Christian basilica, restrained and dignified in its timeless beauty. Essential part of history of art and human history in general. NOT to be missed when visiting Ravenna.

This church located outside of the city of ravenna about 20 minutes by public transportation or 10 minutes by car is a wonderful example of Byzantine art and architecture melded with romanesque art and architecture as well as later additions from the baroque and neoclassical periods.
