Known for its colorful mosaics, which adorn many buildings in the historic center, Ravenna is a city in Emilia-Romagna rich in history and monuments of great cultural interest.
First and foremost is the Basilica of San Vitale, with its octagonal plan, followed by the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, dating back to the 6th century, and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, built in the shape of a cross.
To the north of the center lies the Mausoleum of Theodoric, a circular Gothic funerary building in stone with a monolithic dome, constructed in the 6th century for King Theodoric the Great.
Ravenna’s “cultural mosaic” also comes to life at the table: from passatelli to cappelletti, all the way to the ultimate street food, the legendary piadina — the city’s traditional dishes are sure to win over every palate.
