  • 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.
