Ravenna is the city of mosaics — here, mosaics from the Byzantine Empire have been preserved and restored, and there's a combined ticket for either 3 or 5 sites to see them. I went with the first option, and it was more than enough for me. 🎫
Honestly, I know almost nothing about the emperors, saints, and other figures depicted on the walls. And yet I was left in awe by the sheer beauty of it all — the shimmer, the colors, the fact that every bit of it was crafted stone by stone so many centuries ago. 👌
The three buildings from the combined ticket that I visited:
📌 Basilica of San Vitale 📌 Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo 📌 Archiepiscopal Museum and Chapel of Sant'Andrea
A little tip: wear comfortable shoes and keep your head up — the best part of Ravenna is above you, on the ceilings. 😄
