Palace of Theoderic, 6th century royal palace in Ravenna, Italy.
The Palace of Theoderic contains ancient mosaic floors and architectural elements that demonstrate the transition between Roman and Byzantine construction methods.
The structure served as both residence and administrative center for Theodoric the Great, ruler of the Ostrogothic Kingdom during the early 500s.
Archaeological excavations between 1907 and 1911 revealed lead pipes marked with Theodoric's name, confirming the exact location of this significant structure.
Visitors can climb a spiral staircase in the round tower to reach an upper room displaying floor mosaics discovered during site investigations.
Materials from the palace were transported to Aachen for Charlemagne's Palatine Chapel construction, with some columns later moved to the Louvre in Paris.
