Itinerary

  • Sant'Apollinare

    Our first stop is Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, a basilica that leaves visitors in awe with its vibrant mosaics and striking architecture. Originally built as a Palatine Chapel, it later became a place of worship. The mosaic panels lining the nave depict biblical scenes, showcasing stories from both the Old and New Testaments. Marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship and vivid colors that bring these narratives to life. One of the most iconic mosaics here is the Procession of the Magi, a stunning portrayal of the three wise men on their journey to meet the baby Jesus.

    1 hour

  • Mausoleo di Galla Placidia

    Next, we make our way to the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, a small yet breathtaking monument that showcases the beauty of Ravenna's early Christian art. Step inside this UNESCO World Heritage Site and be mesmerized by the shimmering mosaics that adorn the walls and ceiling. The deep blue hues and intricate designs create an ethereal atmosphere, transporting you back to the 5th century. As you explore the mausoleum, don't miss the remarkable mosaic depicting the Good Shepherd—a powerful symbol of the Christian faith.

    30 minutes

  • Basilica di San Vitale

    Our final destination is the Basilica of San Vitale, considered a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture. As you step inside, you'll be captivated by the intricate mosaic designs covering the walls and vaulted ceilings. The apse mosaic, featuring Emperor Justinian and his court, is a sight to behold. It is matched in grandeur by the mosaic depicting Empress Theodora, which is equally breathtaking. The basilica's design, with its octagonal shape and towering dome, showcases the architectural prowess of the time.

    1 hour

  • Battistero Neoniano (Battistero degli Ortodossi)

    The Battistero Neoniano is renowned for its beautiful mosaics, especially the ceiling depiction of the Baptism of Christ. Its vibrant colors and ancient baptismal font make it a key early Christian monument in Ravenna.

Overwhelming Experience in Ravenna

Published on Nov, 2024

The Mosaics of Ravenna far surpassed our expectations and presented an overwhelming experience. Our very capable guide, Giuseppe, provide remarkably detailed historical, theological and artistic insights to add even more impact. Wonderful and memorable day. Ravenna is a city of wonders.

Excellent , knowledgeable quide through Mosaics

Published on Nov, 2024

Learning the meanings behind the beauty. The Mosaics were amazing as well as the history The walk through town to the different sites was a nice way to see the town. An interesting an informative tour. Our tour guide knew a great deal about the different pieces and also how they were made. He explained each mosaic and how and why it was altered.

Riveting Ravenna

Published on Oct, 2024

Giovanni was a great guide. His detailed knowledge of the mosaics was simply astounding. His explanation of the many metaphorical depictions made me feel like I was a character in a Dan Brown Novel. Outstanding!

A must do!

Published on Sep, 2024

The churches with the mosiacs were beautiful. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. I wish we saw more places.
