Ravenna is famous for its Byzantine mosaics, a UNESCO heritage site which hides many treasures that deserve to be seen. The Byzantine mosaics are joined by the stone carpets, the hanging gardens, Dante’s area, the historic centre with the history of the Rasponi and Da Polenta families and their bloody intrigues in the palace. The outskirts offer the Mausoleum of Theodoric framed by a green park that can be covered on foot and Classe is home to 3 equally fascinating sites with the Byzantine Basilica, the Classis Museum and the ancient port of Classe.
