Dante Alighieri's tomb, Neoclassical mausoleum in Ravenna, Italy
The rectangular stone structure features a dome and marble decorations, housing the remains of medieval poet Dante Alighieri inside a Roman sarcophagus.
Constructed between 1780 and 1781 by architect Camillo Morigia, the tomb replaced earlier structures built since Dante's death in Ravenna in 1321.
The interior walls display Latin inscriptions and a marble relief portrait of Dante created by sculptor Pietro Lombardo in the 15th century.
The mausoleum stands near the Basilica of San Francesco and includes a garden with the Quadrarco di Braccioforte within the designated silent zone.
A lamp inside burns with oil from Tuscan hills, gifted annually by Florence during September ceremonies commemorating Dante's death date.
