Ravenna stands as a pivotal city in the tapestry of Late Antique Europe, cradling a wealth of art and architecture from this transformative era. In our journey, we will explore five magnificent UNESCO World Heritage monuments, each adorned with dazzling, intricate mosaics dating back to the early Christian period. I will guide you through the splendor of Ravenna's mosaics, shedding light on the figures portrayed, the rich symbolism woven throughout, and the intricate web of religious politics of the time. Experience the brilliance and spectrum of colors in the mosaics, and let yourself be transported to a time when worshippers gazed upon these very works, feeling their spiritual resonance. Join me as we uncover the stories these mosaics tell, stories of devotion, artistry, and the enduring power of faith, all set against the backdrop of Ravenna's historical grandeur. *Entry tickets to monuments included
