Ravenna was one of the most important cities of Late Antique Europe and hosts some spectacular works of art and architecture from this period. Best known for the magnificent and sparkling mosaics of its sacred buildings, it had been chosen as the west's new capital in 402. That was the beginning of its golden age. This tour includes a visit to the 5 UNESCO sites in the city center and the one in Classe, the majestic church of St Apollinare in Classe, an outstanding example of an early Christian basilica, adorned with astonishing and colorful mosaics. Join me on this tour and I will lead you through the wonder of the exquisite mosaics of Ravenna, telling you about the characters depicted, the symbols, and the religious politics behind them. I'll let you discover and delve into the unexpected atmosphere. The radiance and colours of the ancient mosaics will allow you to feel how worshippers felt centuries ago.
This tour includes a visit to the following UNESCO monuments: Church of St Vitale, which stands out for the magnificence of its architecture and decorations; Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, one of the most evocative places of the Early Christianity, due to the stunning mosaic patterns on a blue background; Church of St Apollinare Nuovo, where there are preserved some of the most iconic byzantine mosaics in the world; Neonian Baptistery, the most impressive surviving baptistery from the early Christian period; St Andrew Chapel, built as the private chapel of the bishop in the VI century; Church of St Apollinare in Classe, regarded as one of the greatest basilicas of its era. It is located outside the city center. My driver will take us there. This tour includes a visit to the tomb of Dante Alighieri, the renowned poet best known for his monumental epic, 'The Divine Comedy'.
