Mausoleo di Galla Placidia
Built during the mid-fifth century, Mausoleo di Galla Placidia is one of the best-preserved Christian sites in Italy, as well as a World Heritage site. The mausoleum's simple exterior belies its detailed inner sanctum, which is adorned with intricate, sky-themed mosaics. The mosaic over the north entrance features a stylized, regal depiction of Jesus, a transition from classical portrayals to the medieval-style artwork seen in the following centuries.

It is a fantastic place, full of magic, of authentic spiritual experience. You experience a sense of amazement that something so beautiful, but fragile at the same time, was able to last for such a long time, that it was not destroyed. This gives you hope that the beauty of divine essence has an extraordinary power over man and time.

A place to visit once in a lifetime. The true connection between Roman and byzantine civilization. The mosaics are astonishing. So are the window panes which are made from alabaster. No words!!!
