San Giovanni Evangelista, Ravenna, Early Christian church in Ravenna, Italy.
The basilica features a long nave, Gothic marble portal, and fragments of medieval mosaic pavements illustrating scenes from the Fourth Crusade.
Princess Galla Placidia ordered the construction of this church in 424 after surviving a dangerous sea voyage from Constantinople to Ravenna.
The fourteenth-century chapel contains frescoes by Pietro da Rimini, representing the artistic traditions of Giotto's school in northern Italy.
The church entrance on Via Carducci leads to a cloister with a bell tower, offering visitors opportunities to explore both interior and exterior spaces.
Two original bells from 1208 continue to ring from the tower, marking nearly 800 years of continuous religious service in this location.
