Ravenna's UNESCO Treasures

Ravenna served as the capital of the Western Roman Empire and the Byzantine Exarchate, leaving behind an unparalleled legacy of 5th and 6th-century religious architecture. This collection highlights eight UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the octagonal Basilica of San Vitale and the mosaic-filled Mausoleum of Galla Placidia. The list also features the final resting place of Dante Alighieri and the flooded crypt of San Francesco, showcasing the city's transition from late antiquity to the Middle Ages through intricate tilework and monumental stonework.
