• Mausoleo di Galla Placidia - This is one of Ravenna’s most significant and opulent structures. Notably, it is among the city’s oldest buildings and has been a part of the world heritage list since 1996.

The mausoleum is relatively small, and the time allowed inside is limited, so the guide will provide most of the explanations outside and offer a brief summary inside.

• Basilica di Sant’Apollinare Nuovo - Initially dedicated to the Saviour and consecrated to the Arian faith, the church was converted to Orthodox Christianity after the Byzantine Empire’s conquest of the city in the mid-6th century.

Inside, the basilica features one of the world’s most renowned Early and Late Christian mosaic cycles, with an extraordinary mosaic decoration that spans the entire central nave. It is a masterpiece of unmatched value from stylistic, iconographic, and ideological perspectives.

• Basilica di San Vitale - Upon entering the basilica, visitors are immediately captivated by the stunning mosaic decorations in the apse and the expansive open spaces, as well as the impressive central vault, which was frescoed in the 18th century.
• Basilica di San Francesco - Located within the area of silence, this church was likely the most cherished by the esteemed poet Dante Alighieri.
• Dante’s Tomb and Quadrarco of Braccioforte - In the heart of Ravenna, there is a serene and respectful spot dedicated to the memory of Dante Alighieri, the father of the Italian language.
