Ravenna, Ancient capital in Emilia-Romagna, Italy
The city features eight UNESCO-listed Early Christian monuments adorned with intricate mosaics spanning across multiple architectural sites throughout the urban center.
Ravenna gained prominence as the capital of the Western Roman Empire in 402, later becoming the center of Byzantine influence in Italy until the 8th century.
The preserved mausoleum of Dante Alighieri stands as a testament to the poet's final years in Ravenna, where he completed the Divine Comedy.
The train station connects directly to Bologna with hourly services, making it accessible for day trips to explore the historical monuments and mosaic sites.
The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia contains the oldest mosaics in the city, dating from 425 CE, with a deep blue starry sky ceiling design.
