A little history

The choice fell on this city not by chance: the emperor believed that Ravenna was well fortified from the invasions of barbarians and invaders . It is worth saying that he was wrong: as early as 476 year, the city was captured by the Ostrogoths . However, Ravenna's life had little effect on this - she remained one of the brightest and most beautiful cities on Adriatiches om the coast, much of the credit in what should be attributed to Theodoric .

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Ravenna
Ravenna is a very interesting city, rich in monuments of early Christian and Byzantine architecture, including the mausoleum of Galla Placidia (440), the Baptistery of the Orthodox middle of the 5th century (entrance 2 EUR, address: Piazza Duomo) and the Baptistery of the Arians, the Church of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo the beginning of the 6th century and San Vitale (aders: Via Fiandrini Benedetto), the grave of Dante. Outside the city walls is the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classes (549) with its amazing garden and altar mosaic (address: Via Romeo Sud, Classe, buses 4 and 44 from the railway station).
The mausoleum of Theodoric (520) is also considered a unique one - the stern tomb of the king of the Ostrogoths, which is located at the far end of the city, behind the railway tracks. Around is the park, where, despite the somberness of the mausoleum, picnics are often held in the summer. Working hours: March-September Mon-Sun 8.30-18.30; October-January 8.30-16.00; February 8.30-17.30, entrance - 2 EUR.
Speaking of the sights of Ravenna, first of all come to mind her fantastic mosaics in the Byzantine style. The most notable are the palace of Theodoric and the mausoleum of Galla Placidia. In the last place, after standing an impressive line, it is not allowed to be more than 5 minutes. We have to go out, re-stand and again rush headlong to enjoy the perfect gold and sapphire colors of the mosaic ceilings and walls (address: Via Fiandrini Benedetto, entrance about 4 euros).
Finally, it is necessary to visit the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit of the 18th century (on the ancient foundation of the Ursian basilica of the beginning of the 5th century), the Venetian fortress of Brancaleone from the 15th century and the Franciscan church of San Francesco, where the poet Dante died in Ravenna.
