Ravenna, the City of Mosaics

A Treasure of Beauty at the Gateway to the Po Delta Park

Ravenna is one of Italy’s foremost cultural destinations, located in the heart of Emilia-Romagna. A truly unique city where art becomes light and history comes alive through extraordinary mosaics. Once the capital of the Western Roman Empire, later of the Ostrogothic Kingdom and subsequently the Byzantine Empire in Europe, Ravenna preserves an artistic heritage of universal value.

Ravenna’s UNESCO Monuments: An Open-Air Museum

Ravenna’s historic centre is a remarkable open-air museum. Eight of its monuments were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996 as outstanding examples of Early Christian and Byzantine mosaic art.​

Among the most celebrated masterpieces are:

  • the Mausoleo di Galla Placidia, renowned for its dazzling gold and deep-blue mosaics;
  • the Neonian Baptistery, one of the oldest Christian monuments in Italy;
  • the Arian Baptistery, a testament to the Theodoric period;
  • the monumental Basilica di Sant’Apollinare Nuovo;
  • the Cappella Arcivescovile;
  • the imposing Mausoleum of Theodoric;
  • the extraordinary Basilica di San Vitale, a symbol of Byzantine art in the Western world;
  • the evocative Basilica diSant’Apollinare in Classe, set amidst the countryside surrounding Ravenna.​

Ravenna Today: Museums, Archaeology and Contemporary Culture

Alongside its UNESCO mosaics, Ravenna offers a vibrant and contemporary cultural scene that enriches the visitor experience, making the city an ideal destination for a comprehensive, accessible and engaging cultural journey, including:

  • the Archaeological Park of Classe and Museo Classis – Il Museo della Città e del Territorio, which traces the city’s development from its Etruscan and Umbrian origins to the Early Middle Ages through important archaeological finds and innovative multimedia displays;
  • the Domus dei Tappeti di Pietra;
  • MAR – Museo d’Arte della Città di Ravenna;  ​
  • the historic Biblioteca Classens.

Between Art and Landscape: Nature Reserves and Birdwatching in the Po Delta

Ravenna is one of the main gateways to the Po Delta Park, one of Europe’s most important ecosystems. Here, historical heritage and natural landscapes coexist in remarkable harmony. Themed routes and guided tours lead visitors through Roman villas, ancient domus, parish churches, castles, fortifications and industrial archaeology sites, crossing countryside landscapes, pine forests and green spaces that tell centuries of history and showcase a rich architectural heritage.

The wetlands, inherited from the ancient marshes that once surrounded the city, host exceptional biodiversity. The Pineta di San Vitale, the last great coastal pinewood of the Adriatic, and the Pineta di Classe, already exploited during Roman times to support the port of Classe, bear witness to a centuries-old relationship between humans and nature.

Of outstanding ecological value is the area of Valle Mandriole and Punte Alberete, crossed by the Lamone River. This important freshwater wildlife oasis is ideal for nature excursions, birdwatching and slow tourism experiences within the Po Delta.

Visiting Ravenna means embarking on an inspiring journey through timeless mosaics, unspoilt landscapes and unique cultural itineraries. An unforgettable experience for individual travellers, groups and school parties alike.
