Book Ticket*
The Basilica of San Vitale is a late antique church in Ravenna, Italy. The sixth-century church is an important surviving example of early Byzantine art and architecture, and its mosaics in particular are some of the most-studied works in Byzantine art. It is one of eight structures in Ravenna inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Its foundational inscription describes the church as a basilica, though its centrally-planned design is not typical of the basilica form. Within the Roman Catholic Church it holds the honorific title of basilica for its historic and ecclesial importance.
Sight 7: Mausoleum of Galla Placidia
The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia is a Late Antique Roman building in Ravenna, Italy, built between 425 and 450. It was added to the World Heritage List together with seven other structures in Ravenna in 1996. Despite its common name, the empress Galla Placidia was not buried in the building, a misconception dating from the thirteenth century; she died in Rome and was buried there, probably alongside Honorius in the Mausoleum of Honorius at Old Saint Peter's Basilica.
Sight 8: Chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore
The church of Santa Maria Maggiore is a Catholic place of worship in the city of Ravenna, not far from the Basilica of San Vitale and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia.
Sight 9: Chiesa di Santa Croce

Between the late 14th century and the beginning of the 17th century, the imposing church was mutilated in some of its parts. The so-called mausoleum of Galla Placidia was initially a chapel accessible from the narthex of this church, but subsequent demolitions made it an independent building.
