Built by Theodoric the Great, it features stunning depictions of biblical scenes and saints, blending Roman and Byzantine art styles. The basilica is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    30 minutes

  • Dante's tomb and Quadrarco of Braccioforte

    The Tomb of Dante is the final resting place of the illustrious poet Dante Alighieri, author of The Divine Comedy. Exiled from his native Florence, Dante died in Ravenna in 1321. The tomb is a small neoclassical structure designed by architect Camillo Morigia in 1780.

    20 minutes

  • Archiepiscopal Museum

    The Archiepiscopal Chapel, also known as the Chapel of St. Andrew, is an early 6th-century oratory built for the city's Orthodox bishops. It is renowned for its exquisite mosaics that blend classical and Byzantine styles. Notably, the chapel features depictions of Christ as a warrior, reflecting early Christian iconography. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    20 minutes

  • Battistero Neoniano (Battistero degli Ortodossi)

    The Neonian Baptistery is an early 5th-century octagonal building renowned for its exquisite early Christian mosaics, particularly the dome depicting the baptism of Jesus. As one of the oldest monuments in the city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it exemplifies the blend of classical Roman architecture with emerging Christian art.

    10 minutes

  • Mausoleo di Galla Placidia

    The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia is a 5th-century building famous for its stunning early Christian mosaics. Despite its name, it likely served as a chapel rather than a tomb for Empress Galla Placidia.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of early Christian art.

    15 minutes

Enchanting tour to Ravenna

Published on Nov, 2024

Amazingly beautiful mosaics in one city and tour guide is very knowledgable and helpful which makes a big difference.

Lovely Ravenna

Published on Nov, 2024

Ravenna is worth a visit. Amazing history and beautiful mosaics in a charming town. This tour taught us so much about the area!

Superb tour of Ravenna

Published on Oct, 2024

Luana's tour of Ravenna was one of the highlights of our trip. The mosaics alone are just breathtaking and just those alone are worth making a trip to Ravenna. But there is more to see there than just the mosaics. Luana's excellent commentary on the history of Ravenna during the tour made this tour particularly memorable. Highly recommend.

Wonderful!

Published on Oct, 2024

My husband and I loved our tour of Ravenna’s extraordinary mosaics with Luana! She is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. We highly recommend Luana!

Wonderful tour of a must see city

Published on Oct, 2024

I can't compliment Luana enough. We had so looked forward to seeing the world heritage sites in Ravenna and the place did not let us down. Luana's guidance and expertise were invaluable. We came for the day from Bologna. She met us at the train station, escorted us around town and arranged a driver for more distant site visits, got us to lunch and back to the station when it was time to head out. Engage her service and you will not be disappointed.
