The 10 Best Architectural Buildings in Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna
Ravenna once was the capital of the Byzantine Empire in Italy, and it still has amazing mosaics recalling that heritage. Also make sure you visit Dante's tomb, as well as the little pile of rubble where local residents hid his urn during WWII to prevent it from being damaged.

The Town Hall of Ravenna (Palazzo Comunale di Ravenna) looks onto the main square of the city, Piazza del Popolo. In this beautiful square, the Palace is dominated by its beauty. The complex now consists of two adjacent buildings joined by a vault (called Cavalcavia) opening onto Via Cairoli, the former is the ancient Palazzetto Veneziano, situated to the North of the square. It was erected by the Venetians as the seat of their governors some years after conquering the city. To the west of the square rises Palazzo del Comune (also known as Palazzo Merlato), the latter building, that was constructed between the late 17th and the 18th century on the place where the river Padenna used to flow in the Middle Ages. Wonderful historic Palace in a beautiful square, for history lovers as if we were in the Middle Ages.

This is a monumental gate to the southern side of the city, also called Gregorian gate (porta Gregoriana). It was built in the 16th century to replace San Lorenzo gate which was in bad conditions. It is the most beautiful of all the monumental gates of the city.
