Ravenna

Ravenna is known for its ancient mosaics and Byzantine architecture.
Basilica di Sant'Apollinare in Classe
We made a 30-min photo-stop at Basilica di Sant'Apollinare in Classe, which is the burial site of Ravenna's patron saint, who converted the city to Christianity in the 2nd century.

UNESCO - The Early Christian Monuments of Ravenna are in the UNESCO World Heritage List
